see there is nothing much you can do, as far as the rash driving is concerned desired section has already been there so u cant do much. and as far as he is a minor that will help him more since his case will be transfered in juvenile court..

Thank you Ratnesh for your reply.

but i would like to know, can we not file a case against him for rash driving and plus that he was minor so he endangedred other's lives as well..
They have already registered an FIR and now, the police is offering us to go for compromise, with no fault of ours, we took the boy to hospital as well and there is just a minor fracture that he has recieved due to his careless driving?

(How can parents give vechiles to their children to drive and someone like us get punished for the wrong doings of the parents.)why should this be an option? Would that boy not punished and we with no fault of ours be unecessary punished ?

and Thank you Arvind for you reply as well but i really dont have got any answer as one of you is saying that we ae helpless and while the others is providing the solution n the form of FIR,

Still confused what to do ?
