This query is : Open
One morning on red light my car got collided with car in front of me. The owner of the car was Police Sub Inspector, he started taking pictures of my car and then went off without discussing the matter and his car got very small dent at the rear (picture as proof, taken by complinant).
Later he filed an FIR with IPC 279/427 and charged me with rash driving which is criminal offence in nature. I am getting advised that plead guilty pay fine of 1,000 and close this case.
My issues:
1) I was not driving rashly, then why to plead guilty
2) He wrote that I ran from the scene, but picture taken by him prove opposite. As he has taken my pictures with my car behind his car leaving no place to run
3) I am employee of private company and in middle of applying for visa, How it will impact me. (As they don't ask for reason of criminal proceeding just assume it to be of big reason)
4) But I also want solution earliest as can't take leaves on frequent basis
Please help
