This query is : Resolved
I had an accident on 5th Nov 2000. Where my friend was driving my vehicle and we met with an accident with another bike where driver died on the spot of the other bike and the person who was sitting behind him got seriously injured. Me and my friend got serious injuries and got admitted in hospital in Raipur Chhattisgarh (200 Km away from my place). Where my friend passed away after 2 days of treatment and I was in coma for 10 days and was hospitalized for 2 months. In Police FR it was clearly mention that my friend was driving the vehicle but now after 14 years my friend’s father has put a case against me that I was driving the vehicle which is not true and he has also arranged some fake witnesses for the same. He has put IPC Act 304A against me and my father.
Kindly suggest me what should we do in this case.
Thanks

Dear Mr. Nitish,
1. Such filing of case after 14 years is time barred and the complaint will not survive. Although you may be required to attend the proceedings but you will be able to defend your self. Do not worry at all.
2. If need be to discuss the case matter in length you can opt to take legal consultation form this lawyer.

I agree with Mr. Rohit Sharma, an expert on the subject.
It is time barred complaint.
Engage a local lawyer and contest the case.

FR is in my favor. There my friend name is mentioned as a driver.

There cannot be a renewed FIR after 14 years on the same cause of action, clarify the issue through your advocate.
