root. It was a mutual collision.
Specify the ways to recover
insurance amount will wehave to go to court. And if we
go to court what could be
punishment and penalty to the
driver?
A. When an accident takes place, a case is
registered by the Local Police. In your case as
the person has died, the criminal case will
attract Section 304 A of the Indian Penal
Codewhich provides for offences relating to
death due to negligence. The State has to
prove that the accident took place with your
scooter and you were driving the same rashly
and negligently. In such cases the statements
of the eye witnesses (if any) to the accident is
required to be produced during the trial. It is
also to be proved that the pedestrian was not
at any fault. To claim compensation you have

that vehicle was driven by

with the owner is however not
disputed. Kindly provide caselaw fixing liability on the
insurance company.
A. The owner is liable for the wrongs
committed by his servants only if there was
consent/ permission from the master to the
servant. If the owner is able to prove
successfully (which is most unlikely), the
owner will not be liable to pay compensation
and consequently insurance company will not

case of death of a person
calculated ?
A. In the case where the fault of the driver is

occurred due to the fault of the driver the
compensation is calculated on the basis of the
life expectancy of the deceased multiplied by
his income. The income for the purposes of

June 12, 2013 at 12:28 pm
The cases that can be settled or in legal
sense compoundable have been given in
Section 320 CRPC. You can compromise only
those matters. Some more offences, other
than as mentioned in section 320 CRPC, can
be allowed to be compromised only by way of
filing a quashing petition in the High Court. But
the powers of the High Court are discretionary
in nature and for such a heavy offence as
section 304A IPC, the High Court may be
reluctant to quash the same.

that he could not file a case, in such a case
he can authorize somebody to file a case on

Generally when the Insurance Company goes
in appeal, the Honble High Court issues
notice to the respondent/claimant only after
the Insurance Company releases the amount
of around 50% or more to the claimant.
Sometimes where matters are complicated,
the cases are admitted. So, it might take
some time then. You can make an application
for early hearing if your case is admitted.

Accident Claim Tribunal. you must consult
some local advocate in this regard. This is
because of the reason that the procedure for
claiming compensation, even if I explain to
you, you will not be able to file a case in this
regard on your own. You will have to take
active advice from some local advocate.

Generally, it takes around 2 years in such
cases. The only way is to request your
advocate to expedite the trial. However, theremay such cases where witnesses are absent
or could not be found. The time taken depends
upon the facts and circumstances of each
case.

Jastej S (Team Vakilno1)says:
July 4, 2013 at 2:01 pm
The injured party can seek compensation
under Motor vehicles act. If your vehicle was
insured then there will be no problem becausewhatever the MACT decides, the same will
paid by the Insurance Company. So far as the
criminal case is concerned, if the other party
is injured the offence might be compoundable.
If it is compoundable then there will be no jail
term.

Firstly, make sure that your vehicle was

case, if your fault is established then you need
not pay anything and the insurance company
will be making the payment.

Dear Sir,
While I was taking turn to my right side T-

furious biker was coming from oppositedirection on main road collided with my car at
the turning point when I was almost turned to
small road. He became hopeless and didnt
even apply his bike breaks.It is non-
residential(agriculture fields)area.He was
injured seriously and fainted at the movement.
I took him to hospital and paid for initial
medical test and treatment and called his
family members. He lost his two teeth and had
to admit in hospital for a week. Except first
bills rest of his medical expenses were born
by his family. Bike driver is of middle age and
might not have driving licence. First his family
ask to me for over one lac compensation
which they spent on his treatment though I
agreed to pay 25 thousand but did not accept
my offer. Finally, his nephew had filed case for
rash and negligence driving. I had bailed
myself and my car too. Sir I dont have
knowledge of legal procedures, would you
please suggest how long this case will take to
get settle and what penalty I could get to bear
in any case. Court already has sent summon

Sir,
I met with an accident on 4th oct 2013 in
Chiplun while traveling to Ratnagiri, I was on
the driving seat and on a narrow lane i was
behind a truck, i just moved my car to the next
lane and was at the centre of the road and a
car coming from other side bang me. I was
driving Fiat Punto and the second party was
driving an Astar (Maruti Suzuki). I was quite
slow and was wearing the seat belt. After the
accident I got down , the other two people
were severely bleeding as they had injuries on
their forehead. I quickly with the help of local
people who had gathered there, sent them tothe hospital for first aid. In the mean time
police came and I explained the entire senario.
After hearing to me they asked me to
registered the case ( FIR) which I did and later,
they blamed me for the accident. I had to
come out on bail terms. they have charged
these sections on me ( 279,337,338,427 and
184). Now the case is in Chiplun court and i
have yet to receive the charge sheet. I met the
second party and suggested a mutual
settlement and yet to receive a response from
them. I had all my documents of the car with
me while traveling and submitted them to local
police on their request.
Now my questions are ?
1. How can I settle with the second party.
2. Police have booked me in the case and
considering me as a party in the fault.
3. How can we settle the case in the court and
how can I prove that I was innocent and still
willing to help the other party.
4. What would be the courts opinion if we
accept the fault as mentioned in the FIR or
shall I defend my self and fight the case.
Request you to please help with the
appropriate solution.
Thanks

An FIR was duly lodged by the Police. But the
vehicle which hit me did not have a Insurance
policy and the Driver did not have a driving

against the owner & driver of the vehicle. But
lawyer says, chances of getting a just
compensation in my case is very remote and
almost nil as the award & decree of MACT

I want to know the legal procedure followed,
when we meet with an accident i.e. I was
going on a scooter and unfortunately dashes aperson crossing road, both fell down and get
injuries. But unfortunately the person crossing
road gets fracture in both of his legs and is still
under treatment in hospital. At the time of
accident he gave in written that I(Scooterist)
was not at fault. It was by mistake happened
and its also written that we will pay him for his
treatment. And we have paid him 40,000 which
is not written anywhere.and at the time of
accident both of us had a written compromise
at police station. Now he has filed a case on
us for claiming that hes having lifetime
disability.And also wrote that driver was driving
rashly and negligently,but it was not writtenthis way at the time of accident that happened
10 months ago.What is the procedure followed
to solve the case legally? Note: I(the driver)
have a valid driving license,valid R.C., the
scooter was not insured at the time of
accident, and also the driver was not going in
any wrong route. It was a mutual collision. If
we go to court what could be punishment and
penalty to the driver?

but smell of Alcohol is there. Yes I did had 2
Pac of 30 ml each.
I spent around 5 Lacs of Rupees on mytreatment and when I am demanding the same
from Star Health they are refusing because of
As per Exclusion No. 10 of the above policy,
the company is not liable to make any
payment in respect of expense incurred at
hospital for treatment of the disease due to
use of alcohol.
