The Delhi authorities cited the Supreme Court’s July 2019 ruling in a legal case pertaining to drunken driving had held {that a} automobile or every other personal passenger car “shall be deemed to be a public place in view of the fact that when a private vehicle is passing through a public road, it cannot be accepted that the public have no access to it. It is true that the public may not have access to such a private vehicle as a matter of right but the public have the opportunity to approach the private vehicle while it is on the public road.”
