Bike accident - student life employmnet background check

Shubam Sukla (Querist) 26 March 2024 This query is : Resolved
Recently, I was involved in a bicycle accident, but I was not at fault. However, a First Information Report (FIR) was filed against me for rash driving. The other party involved was an elderly man. This incident could have been settled outside of court, but they insisted on pursuing legal proceedings. An FIR was registered against me under sections 279 (rash driving), 337 (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), and 338 (causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). To my knowledge, the charge was increased to IPC 338 due to a hairline dislocation fracture sustained by the elderly man, which has now healed, and he has recovered.

After all these events, if this case continues for an extended period or even after a settlement, will this FIR have any impact on my future career prospects, considering that the case has been filed in court under my name?

NOTE: Few things to be notes, the old man has his own hospital, so no proof that evidence of Fracture is fake or modiefied for getting insurance claim.

Quick Summary

A student involved in a bike accident faces legal charges, including rash driving, despite not being at fault. An FIR was filed, and the charges were escalated due to an injury sustained by the other party. The student is concerned about how this ongoing legal case might affect future employment background checks, especially if convicted. The advice given is to wait for the court's decision; an acquittal should pose no issue, but a conviction could negatively impact background verification reports.

You have not stated your age.If it was a juvenile case you need not worry.

Firstly let the case be disposed and let the court acquit you.
If the court convicting you to undergo sentence of any kind, it may certainly and adversely reflect in the background verification report.
