See much depend upon the magistrate. He might leave you after you pay fine or he might asked to stand in court the whole day till the rising of court or he can ask you to do community service for a week or if he strict enough he might send you to jail also.

Dnt wry. There will be fine that you have to pay in the court. However its the discreationary power of court to give imprisonment but mostly court charges fine only . So no need to worry. However let ne know the court where you have to appear. It will help a lot

Ignorance of law is no excuse in the court of law and your violation of Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 attracts a punishment which would attract fine or imprisonment or both. Since you do not have any previous criminal record then the judge may spare you with the jail term and this is your first offence so most probably the judge will impose a hefty fine on you as the level of alcohol found in your body is way more that the permissible limit. My suggestion would be to appear in the court with a lawyer who knows the law and can present your case in the best possible way. Plead mercy before the court.
