Ipc 209 issuance and penalty

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 15 August 2011 This query is : Resolved
Hi all,

Me and my brother met with a car accident yesterday. We bumped into a car from behind who suddenly breaked in the middle of an highway. There was a little dent to the car ahead and he filed an FIR against us since he wanted to claim the money from insurance company.
But the police have given us IPC 209 notice and are telling us to attend the courts and threatening of imprisonment for a very small accident. Is this correct?
Also accidentally we had applied to renew our car insurance and when police asked for it we did not have our car insurance.
Please let us know what needs to be done..we have all other documents in place. I personally do not think it was such a big matter and there was no intent of harming. Please advice.

I think you have quoted wrong section.It can not be 209 IPC. Verify and correct the question.

FIR has been lodged and it might be under sections 279/336 or 337 IPC. These are cognizable and petty offenses. AS the offending vehicle owner has to procure money from his insurance company (as he might not have cashless policy) so FIR is must for that purpose. You can immediately get regular bail from trial court and after submission challan, a compromise may also be effected therein.

No jail for such cases first don't panic.
Follow expert Makkad's advice.
Only penalty after trial.
