Madhukar Bhatt (Querist) 20 March 2011 This query is : Resolved
Like to know about helping accidental injured person on city road or on highway.
General impression prevail that helping such injured person on road accident leads & indulge to unnecessary legal procedure & harassment by police. Query: If some unkown person lying on road by some road accident, the vehicle & driver which committed this accident ran away. We just pass by this and stop to help this injured person. We call 108 by cell or carry such person in our car to hospital, in short want to help this person on humanity ground.Whether we have to indulge in legal problem by police on Panch Nama or summon by court during the case? As usually civilian try to help such person but when thinking of this Police harassment problem they just watch, express pity on lying person and drove away.Now a days Car No plate is like MH-11-N-0000 if want to note no. of car / vehicle which no. is important to remember? The whole no.plate or the last digit no.? Shall be thankful if reply.This information is helpful to us and to all good civilians.Thanks

this is for your information that if a person is injured and you have seen the person who hit him then you can call the emergency at 100 and also 108 which provides the help to the public. if you think you want to help that person than ok take him and left him in the hospital and then you can call the police or the doctor will call to police and then the police will adjust that the person was lying on the road and some one given the information in this regard and in this way it will be helpful as well as you will be safe for this.

Mr.Madhukar, your impression is correct in olden days. Nowadays, helping an injured person will not entail long formalities and not subject to police interrogation. Ofcourse if you wish to be a witness, you can participate in the interrogation and court proceedings. Please do help people if you find in such conditions, shedding the imhibitions. As far as your second part of the query the complete number is necessary. A vehicle can be identified with complete number as in the given case MH stands the name of state : Maharashtra; 11 stands the name of the District and 0000 stands for registration of vehicle with that particular district authority.
