Road Accident

Guest (Querist) 05 August 2015 This query is : Resolved
I was on my way to Ranthambore in my car with my wife when in Dausa a bike trying to overtake from the wrong side hit my vehicle head on and the individual got injured in his head. He was not wearing helmet at that time. I called up the ambulance and his brother and he was sent to hospital. After that i left the location and went to jaipur where i got my vehicle repaired. I did not file any case in police station as i did not want to get into any sort of legal complications. This accident happened on 4th june 2015. Now after more than two months i have come to know that a case has been filed against me under IPC sec 279, 337, 338. The police states that the case has been directly filed in the court. My number plate which had fallen down when the accident took place is an evidence that they have produced against me. I am an army officer posted in J&K and i want to know what are the options available with me. For sure the other party will be more than happy to settle the case outside and extract some money out of me.

Hi
need to go through the FIR that is filed by the police. Please contact an advocate in Dausa the location where the accident happened and he must be able to support you.

Please check up with a local advocate. Generally, such cases are disposed of by imposing a simple fine.

If so, you (or the person who was driving) can plead guilty, remit the fine and save money and time.
