hello all, a fir has been filed against me under IPC 279 just for taking a wrong turn , what is the way to defend myself if I plead not guilty , it's nothing police were standing there no harm they asked me to stop so I stopped my bike and they register under 279 , if I plead guilty will that put me in criminal record ?
A simple traffic ticket is not a criminal citation. Minor traffic offenses are civil citations, which means they are not considered misdemeanors (or felonies) and are not a part of your criminal record. As a result, a speeding ticket will not show up on a background check if the check focuses on criminal histor
Thanks for your prompt response sir , I was just wondering whether it is good idea to plead not guilty and convert it into any MVA act , or pay the fine and get away with it
