Respected Members,
A person on our street was behaving very bad for 4-5 months. He used to remove his pants and used to do weird acts making it difficult for women and children to walk on the street. 3 days back the people on the street ( our neighbors including me) caught hold of him and handed hm over to the police. We filed a complaint against him as he was very arrogant and was not ready to apologize. A day after this incident, I got a message saying FIR has been registered. The police called me ( as I was the main complainant and few neighbors to sign on some "Mohajar" or something and said he would be charge sheeted. He is booked under 294 sec.
1) Would I have any problems since the FIR is filed? I believe we cannot withdraw the FIR.
2) Is it ok to sign on " Mohajar"? Will it have any legal complications?
3) Would I need to keep attending the court when the proceedings begin or do I have to just visit the court once to identify him as a witness?
I would be grateful if you could please clarify the points above.
regards
rsharma
