Drinking case in gujarat

Hi everyone, I need a help from everyone on urgent basis. I was caught drunk by police in gujarat a year ago and I got the summons recently on that. I was been aressted for 8 hr and than I got bail, but before that my medical examination was done. Now I am working in IT industry and if I get convicted in drinking case than that could hammper my carrer in IT industries as well as getting visa/pr for foreign country. I not know any legal terms and too much worried. I am not sure if accept than I need to 250 rs as penalty and will get released but don't know the consecuensis of conviction. Or should I fight the case? and if I fight than is there any changes to get uncovicted. Or is there any kind of settlement can we done with court in this matter. Please help me out.

Section applied against me : BOMBAY PROHIBITION ACT, 1949 section :066,085

Same case happened with me. Now I want to apply for PR in canada and that need Police clearance certificate. I want to know that will this be considered as a criminal record and reflect in Police clearance certificate?

Thank you so much Rohan. Now i will be able to sleep properly. Just one question though. While applying for PCC in passport website. They ask one question that "have you ever been charged with conviction in any court of india or is any criminal proceedings pending against you" should i answer yes or no?
