Hello All,
I just had a trip to Goa with my friends and we hired two bikes for our entire journey. Just while returning from Goa an incident happened in which I entered into a NO ENTRY zone and hit an old man who was riding his scooty. I was on my avenger. I was on my first gear and speed was around 10 kmph (I almost stopped my vehicle as soon as I came to know that i entered into a no entry). But the old man couldn't control and dashed into my vehicle. HE sustained minor injuries on his elbow (just 2 scratches and nothing else). At first he demanded Rs 15000, but we refused and then he went on to file a case against us which he finally did. Now, being a student I wanted to know how much time and money will this case cost us? And will it affect our career?
We were charged with IPC sec 279 and 337 alongwith sec 119 of MV Act.
