Dear sir/madam,
In April, 2020, I was riding a motorcycle in a NH and my friend was the pillion. Another motorcyclist who was not wearing a helmet abruptly came onto my lane without giving any indicator. As a result the two motorcycles had collided with each other and in that accident the other motorcyclist had succumbed to his head injuries whereas I and my friend suffered minor injuries. The sections I am alleged of are Sections 279, 304A and 338 of IPC.
Recently I got selected for a central government job. In the attestation form I have disclosed that there is a pending case against me in a lower court. My employer has put my job on hold. The first hearing of the case is two months away from now. I would appreciate if anyone can suggest me what should I do now
1). Shall I try for getting FIR quashed from a High Court on the basis of an amicable settlement has been reached between me and the legal heirs of the deceased?, or
2). Shall I resolve the case in the lower court only through a trial?
3). Is there anything I can do to expedite the trial process?
4). I am from Madhya Pradesh but the case is in Karnataka. I don't know the language of the court. I cannot understand the arguments and the proceedings of the court. Is there anything I can do regarding this?
5). What is the defense I can put forward when my employer asks me regarding this case. Like, is there any Supreme Court judgment in which it said pending case which is not serious in nature should not become an impediment for the government job?
I want to get out of quickly and join my job. Thank you for your response.
