As per my knowledge, the Judge should let you go after informing you that you shall be charged with a fine upto Rs. 5000 which has been provided for in section 84 of the Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949. I advise you to accept the charge against you but at the same time request the Judge to not impose a harsh penalty and also inform him about your preparation for the UPSC exams and how this will mentally affect your preparations for the same. Since only a fine will be imposed, I don't think that should disqualify you from appearing from the exams. However, there should not be any ongoing Criminal case against you in a Court of Law once you appear for the exam. I also suggest you to also take the appropriate advice from the Judge and the Police regarding this by being polite to them as you don't have any other option. They should get to know about UPSC preparations and hence might take a lenient view in the matter and also give some good advice in this regard. I'd advise you to yourself do some research on this and go through the relevant examination rules and disqualifications in this regard.
