Fake License and Insurance Liability

My vehicle (lorry) got involved in an accident
and the victim passed away.
my Driver got arrested and he is in bail now. Lorry Driver holds a valid Drivers license.
(we have a D.L copy not the original license). My driver not able to submit the original license. I suspect it could be a fake license)  My vehicle permit was taken by the RTO.
Cause of offense - IPC section 304A

Still after 2 weeks not able to get the FIR Copy from the station.I have everything for my vehicle (insurance, Road tax, permits etc all  current)

I have couple of questions? Please help.

What is my liablity if this license turns out to be a fake License?

Is it the owner responsiblity to check whether the license is original or

fake,  if it is owner's responsiblity how do we check?)

How do i get my permit back?
How do i get the FIR copy?

thanks

//What is my liablity if this license turns out to be a fake License?//

If you are not aware of anything abt licence of your driver, then you have no responsibility.

//Is it the owner responsiblity to check whether the license is original or fake,  if it is owner's responsiblity how do we check?)//

When a licence is produced, everone presume that it is true licence. There is no special responsilbilty on owner.

//How do i get my permit back?//

After inspection of vehicle by break inspector, it will be returned to you or to the police. you have to get it.

You ask them under what ground they have taken your permit?


//How do i get the FIR copy?//

You can get certified copy of FIR from concerned court.

 

Ask your lawyer to get those documents.
