A Car hit a biker, both on their respective right sides. Car's right mirror damaged & broken and with that biker got injured in his 2 fingers led to 4 stitches. Biker file complaint with police, u/S. 279 and 378 IPC.
What is the remedy for the Car, if he's residing somewhere not in the jurisdiction of that police station.
Any details of judgement of SC against the general practice of branding the big vehicle guilty in these type of issues.
Thanks.
The jurisdiction is the place of accident and the residence of the persons involved is not material. Better to get a compromise, as if FIR is filed, it involves several complications. If it is done through Lokadalat, the car owner can get insurance for third-party damages. If the car is not insured, if the driver is not having a valid license then the problems may be more.
