I was making a U-turn in my car on the road when an electric scooter without a number plate suddenly braked and slipped. The rider, a 45-year-old man, and his 12-year-old son fell and came under my car. I immediately applied the brakes. The scooter was completely damaged, and the man suffered a leg fracture, while his son sustained minor scratches. However, the scooter did not collide with my car, and there was no damage or scratch on my vehicle.
I took them to AIIMS hospital in an emergency and informed their family. Two days after the accident, I submitted an application at the police station, but they did not provide a receipt. The injured man sought compensation through a third-party insurance claim. After 20 days, the police registered an FIR against me under Sections 281 and 125(a). I then went to the police station, obtained bail, and my car was seized. Later, I secured the release of my car through the court.
I later learned that the same person had a similar accident with a Bolero car a month before my incident, during which he also sustained leg fractures and other injuries. That time also he file FIR against bolero driver. However, in the FIR filed against me, he falsely claimed fractures in his legs and five broken ribs. It appears that he is trying to take advantage of the situation to obtain a disability certificate for benefits, such as a discount on a home loan, and to claim compensation through third-party insurance.
I am worried because I only helped him by taking him to the hospital and calling his family, but now my goodwill has turned against me. Since I am a government employee, frequent court hearings will be difficult for me to attend, especially if I get transferred. I have already spent ₹10,000 on legal expenses, and he is demanding an unethical amount of ₹4–5 lakh for settlement.
He is unwilling to compromise, and I am unsure about the legal consequences. Will I receive any punishment? Will my insurance company’s lawyer handle the case? Should I file a counter-FIR against him for demanding extra money? Please suggest the best course of action in this legal matter.

a great concern regarding the construction of a wall by the Indian Railways at a Railway Station, which is adversely impacting numerous local industries in the region.
The construction of this wall, which is being erected in front of several factories located near the railway station, is causing a major disruption. There are around 20-22 factories in this area that rely heavily on transportation via the railway tracks for the smooth functioning of their operations. The tracks serve as a vital link for the transportation of raw materials and finished goods. The proposed wall is obstructing the easy access to the railway network, which is essential for the continuation of these industrial activities.
how can we stop it as it will destroy our business

In 2002, a summons was issued against me for a cheque bouncing case. Since I could not appear in court, I was given a lawyer, but I was unable to file the case later. Since I was working abroad, I was unable to investigate later. Is that case still valid now? Can the petitioners attach the joint property that I am entitled to before the case is settled? Will the information of such an old case be available online?

Dear Sir,
I am the owner of a flat located on the 4th floor within a scheme of 7 flats in Nagpur. We are currently paying Rs. 1,000 monthly towards maintenance charges to one of the co-flat owners, who resides on the 1st floor. He collects the maintenance fees from all seven flat owners but mismanages the funds and never provides an account record. He often imposes arbitrary expenses on us.
Out of the seven flat owners, I am the only one who has requested him to show the maintenance account records. He has repeatedly stopped the elevator service. For many years, he has been holding on to the building maintenance charges without proper transparency. Recently, he constructed a 150 ft² room in the common parking area to store his surplus belongings, despite objections from four of the flat owners. He continues with the construction work regardless of our concerns.
What should I do in this situation?
Thank you
