How to address IPC charges and remove MV Act 185 charge?

I have been charged under IPC 279, 427, and MV Act sections 184, 185. However, I was not drunk, and the police did not conduct a medical or breath analyzer test on me. I am now worried about my insurance and how to close the FIR or remove the MV Act 185 charge.

Dear Client, If no breath analyser or medical test was conducted, you may challenge the charge under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act before the court. The prosecution must prove the allegation with admissible evidence. You should consult a lawyer to defend the case and seek appropriate relief if the charge is not supported by evidence. The effect on your insurance will depend on the terms of your policy and the outcome of the case. Hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further queries or need assistance.

Since no medical or breath analyzer test was conducted, you may argue that the charges are baseless. To close the FIR or remove the MV Act 185 charge, you need to approach the court with legal evidence, such as witness statements or lack of proof of intoxication. An experienced lawyer can help with the procedure. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
