Since you had committed the offence under Section 185, Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 which is punishable on the first instance with a fine of two thousand rupees, or imprisonment of up to six months, or both, it is possible that there may be something pending in court that you are not aware of. Very importantly, signing any document without fully understanding its contents can have serious consequences.

To find out if there are any pending cases against you, you can check the online case status of the court where your case was heard. You will need to provide details such as your name and case number to access the information.
To check the status of a drink and drive case online, follow these steps:
1. Visit the e-Courts website at https://services.ecourts.gov.in/ecourtindia/
2. Click on the "Case Status" tab.
3. Select the relevant state and district where the case was filed.
4. Enter your case number or party name details to search for the case.
5. Once you have located the case, you can view the case details and the current status of the case.

It must be worthwhile for you to know that not all courts in India have online case status information available. If you are unable to find the information online, you can alternatively, visit the court where your case was heard and request information about the case.

Regarding your future job prospects, certain government jobs require a background check and a clean record and the appointment is subject to police verification. Depending on the nature of the job you are applying for, having a past record of drunken driving may impact your chances of getting hired. You may visit your nearest police station to obtain information on the same.
