IPC 279 imposed

Hi Phani, Well sad to hear about the incident .... but that's the order of the day in our country ....

Sec - 279. Rash driving or riding on a public way.--Whoever drives any vehicle, or rides, on any public way in a manner so rash or negligent as to endanger human life, or to be likely to cause hurt or injury to any other person, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.

This is non compoundable offence .... Best line of defence would be to prove that there was no rash or negligent behaviour on ur part .... U just have to prove that U were not rash & negligent ... I've seen many courts putting a fine of Rs. 1000 - 2000 when the Accused pleads guilty before the Court ... but then this will be a Conviction for committing the said offence.

Mr.Phani did u make any complaint to the court or lodged your protest with the police stattion who had registered the case alleging all the incident, if no then u don't deserve for any leaneancy.
