Accident case- help

Krishna (Querist) 07 October 2016 This query is : Resolved
I met an accident in 2014. An autorickshaw hit my car. Passenger sitting in autorickshaw was minorly injured. I too got injured. Autorickshaw driver ran away from the spot as he was at fault. Passenger sitting in autorickshaw and me went to the Civil Hospital. We both got the treatment in the hospital and discharged with in 10 minutes from the Hospital. Passenger sitting in autorickshaw demanded money from me. I simply refused to give the money as i was not at fault. After 1 month of accident, I came to know that passenger sitting in autorickshaw has filed an FIR u/s 279 and 337 of IPC. In that FIR it is written that i hit the autorickshaw and ran away from the spot. But the truth is that i too got a treatment in Civil Hospital and i have also call details that i have called a PSI of police station. PSI of police station has also reached the civil Hospital and as i refused to pay money to autorickshaw. He with collusion of PSI filed an wrong FIR against me. Now i have a received a summons from the court. I have seen all the documents in the court. Now PSI has not filed a treatment report of mine in the court as it will go against him as i have not ran way from the spot. Now my lawyer is advising me to accept the offence and get free with some bucks of penalty. What should i do
1) shall i accept the offence? if yes, what impact it will have in future
2) shall i file quashing petition in the high court on the basis the PSI has filed wrong FIR alongwith all documents.
3) shall i file discharge application in the trial court on the basis the PSI has filed wrong FIR alongwith all documents.
4) shall i face the trial

Obtain treatment record under RTI.

Depends on you, any advice after referring full case file.

However, you can get second opinion from another lawyer.

what is your profession?

payment of such fine may amount to conviction?

many criminal lawyers are actually not aware of impact of conviction on career.

If there is any truth in your story, change your lawyer immediately, as may have not been able to reply your questions and merely advised you to accept the offence and get free with some bucks of penalty.

By the way, can you explain, why did not you ask these questions to your own lawyer?

You have enlisted your options. You did not specify the injury to the other person - whether it is major or minor. Choose one of the options as per your wish and convenience.
