Mumbai: A person caught driving under the influence of alcohol may not be allowed to drive his car back home after the police have completed the formalities of registering a case against him. The Bombay high court said on Monday that the police commissioner should issue a circular, asking the cops to seize vehicles of people caught for drunken driving immediately after they have been booked.
Justice BR Gavai refused to grant interim relief to businessman Nikhil Kisnani, who had his original driving licence seized following a drunken driving offence in 2008. It means that proceedings against Kisnani will go ahead in a magistrate’s court, and the accused will have to wait for some more time before he gets his license back. “Taking into consideration the menace in the society, interim relief cannot be granted,” the court said.
