New Delhi, July 29 - The Delhi High Court Wednesday directed the city government to consider the suggestions given by the amicus curiae to curb the growing number of drunken driving accidents here.

A division bench of Chief Justice Ajit Prakash Shah and Justice Manmohan gave two weeks to the Delhi government for consideration and sought a status report by Sep 2.

It agreed with the suggestion of the amicus curiae that the repeated offender's driving licence should be revoked and the vehicle forfeited.

It also agreed with the suggestions for strict vigil at bars, uniform checks by police and a special drive during festival seasons.

However, the court rejected the suggestion that the managers of the restaurant/bar should provide substitute drivers to guests.

It also refused to accept the suggestion that guests can leave their keys with the restaurant drivers and then ensure that the driver is allowed to drive only if he is fit to do so.

The bench was hearing the suggestions, refereed by a single judge, after treating them as public interest petition while hearing a motor accident claim matter.
