Mr. Vikram,
Shri Ajay Sethi has provided you the legal position of the case. But, it seems you are already aware of the provision and your reaction indicates, as if you have the desire to discuss the issue with some academic interest, not the real problem with you.
However, if you really have the problem, the plea you have presented is required to be given before the police or the court, not here, who have to investigate/ decide on the complaint. Nobody amongst us can anticipate what would be your fate (fine or jail) in the court case. That depends solely on how you are able to defend your case in the court of law.

You should have been satisfied with the position explained by Shri Ajay Sethi. If you had any doubt about that or wanted to forecast the events to come, you could well have discussed with your lawyer, if an when the case would have been filed in the court of law against you. You should be aware that strogers are not replying your query here.
However, as a student (as your profile speaks about you), you should not expect that we would help you solve your academic exercise. For that you will have to tease your own brain, if you really want to be a good lawyer.

you said that you did duty by taking child to hospital.
well that does not wipe out the crime.
Given facts indicate that criminal liability of you and your mother started when the unleashed dog bolted out and attacked the child.
It is a harsh reality that dog lovers do not like to leash their dogs and in core of heart they at times give second priority to safety of neighbors.

Mr. Sudhir,
Unwittingly, you have given the answer to his academic query, which he seemed to have desired as a solution. As I understand, students, who do not take interest in their studies come forward with varied contentions to make experts believe, as if they face the problem in reality just in a bid to get their academic problems solved. Such persons are required to be identified appropriately.
