is it possible to fight IPC 279 for drunk drive. I was charged for a very low alcohol content ( 37%). I was so stable at the time of booking that even the cops were having hard time accepting , except the alco meter beeped. Moreover no accident caused or there was no case of reckless or neglegent driving. i was booked at a traffic light. i only had a bottle of beer.
i am in search of a lawyer who has experience in this.

Thanks for the reply. I was booked for both mv act 185 ( drunk drive) and ipc 279 ( reckless and rash driving) and an FIR was filed. Guess this only happens in kerala. Is there any way i can fight this case ? i am fine with the 185; but IPC 279 seems to baffle me .
here in kerala they file FIR for a drunk driving case and since drunk driving was a non- cognizable offence; they coudnt arrest or file FIR earlier. They use the IPC case insead to book people.
i have heard of people who got free with upo 40% going free without any trouble in banglore or hyderbad.
i dont want a criminal offence on my name as i am thinking of going abroad soon.
