Hi

The police asking for the submission of the originals of DL and RC is only for the purpose of investigation.

It will also prove that there was a valid DL in your father's name .

it appears to that there was a deliberate delay in proceeding with the accident case from the part of the police , to support the biker in his claim.

since the trial in the motor accident case did not happen as the police dint submit the charge sheet after the FIR making your dad accused including under 279 of Ipc.

usually the FIR is considered in MACT while ordering the matter and in this matter trial has not taken place in the criminal court since police didn't submit the Charge sheet which ultimately helped the biker and his lawyer.

whereas your side could have had a better defense if your dad had got acquitted in the criminal case charged by the police.

if the car was hit from behind your father then sec.279 is a made up charge , you should provide supporting details and evidence if anything you have , to the officer and co-operate with them.

First go and meet the concerned investigating officer. if the biker has approached the police for the help to support his claim, they may be trying to help him for the purpose of accident claim .

so you should meet the officer.

it must be a deliberate delay made by the police till the MACT order happened for the purpose of compensation, as the acquittal of your dad in the accident case/FIR which was charged u/s. 337,338, 427 and.279 would have dismissed biker's accident claim before the accident tribunal as his contributory negligence.

In high court you can bring to notice of the court that the accused in motor accident case charged by the police is yet to be tried and can be acquitted on certain ground .

the next step should be based on the charge sheet and what is mentioned in it, if the police is going to file it in the court. either take trial or compromise as the sections are compoundable under the provisions of criminal procedure code.

at the end, if there was a valid insurance policy your dad will not have to be pay as the company is liable to pay

If you are made a party you better appoint your own alwyer.

it is better you engage a lawyer for the hearings in HC

2) insurance company would be engaging lawyer and contesting claim for enhanced compensation

The compensation or MACT case is different to that of the criminal case caused due to accident.

If the victim side is ready and willing tom compromise, then the next option is to file a quash petition under section 482 cr.p.c. before high court in which the defacto complainant can express his/her no objection to quash the matter as he/she has already claimed compensation award from parties through court and would not like to press her complaint.

This would make ensure the high court quashing the FIR and your father would be released from the pending criminal case.

now the victim would be going to high court for increasing compensation he got from lower court. Then again i have to go the hearings in HC and hire a lawyer.?? Cant only insurance company handle this?

If your father has been impleaded as a party to the appeal preferred by the appellant, then it becomes your duty to defend your interest, otherwise the decision may be against you.
