The court sentenced the accused to a fine of Rs. 100 or 10 days simple imprisonment in default, finding that the prosecution failed to establish charges under Section 85(1) of the Act (drunk and disorderly behavior) but successfully proved the charge of illegal consumption of intoxicants. The court considered the accused's first offense status and lack of prior criminal history as mitigating factors in determining the sentence.
