my father expired in road accident hit by two wheeler due to rash driving by driver in 2008. police booked case and accused driver taken to the court.Trails were taken place and evidence was provided to the court. Now, we came to know that the case was dismissed 3 months back and accused was acquitted. However, during the last 3 months we have approached PP for information relating to the case but he was simply telling that the case is still pending and misguiding us. Now, how to go about this case as we want that the accused should be punished. Please advise the procedure and ways.

confirm from the court whether the case is dismissed?
you could also raise an rti to the PIO of the court asking for the present status of the case.

Had you desire to punish accused, why you did not appointed any private counsel for the support of PP and to safeguard your interests?
You have been also derelicted your duty so no one to accuse. However, you obtain the certified copy of judgment and may file an appeal thereto before first appellate court with the help of State.
Generally people confine to the claim petition in such accidental matters.

We were under the impression that the PP fights the case but unfortunately PP misguided us and all along he was telling that the accused will be punished and case was very strong and he asked money also and we have promised him to pay after getting the judgment. What went wrong later on we don't know. In this case, claim for insurance has been filed through a lawyer and yet to be settled. The accused is going round the political leaders and lawyers but did not bother to make a visit to out house to console our family. Therefore, we feel that the person who does not have any regrets about accident shall be punished.

if you feel that he should be punished for his negligence,engage a lawyer and fight the case.
It is going to be both money and time consuming case.
