Hi,
Case regarding drink and drive (Motors vehicle Act Section 185). Request you to guide me on it.
This is regarding my case for drink and drive in Mumbai which happened in December 25, 2010. I was booked under MVA section 185 under breath analyser test (no blood test). This was followed by Rs.1200 bail bond and was asked to appear in front of the judge next day. The judge told me to keep a lawyer to fight the case; else he would send me to jail.
I kept the lawyer, and since then every month I go for the hearing. All I get is the new date. On the other hand, the police guy who is suppose to be the witness has only showed once and he has been cross examined in this matter and rest for all the dates, he has been absent. It’s been more than 2 years and I can see no signs of closure for this case. Also, the prosecutor has not come till yet. It has been mentally harassing for me and being in a career developing stage, I’m not able to shift from Mumbai for better opportunities.
Request you to guide me in an appropriate way as to what can be done to wrap up the case. Also, Can I file a petition for “Inordinate Delay” or anything which can make up for the time I wasted for the hearing just to get a new date?
