Fir against section 279/337 of ipc
Respected Sir,
Last month, a child aged about 9 years was hit by my car and his root foot was injured. It was bit dark outside around 7.30 PM, the child suddenly came in the road from left side and I had no time react. The left side tyre of the car crossed over his right foot. I alongwith the child's father had taken child to Private Hospital. Child's father had a Medical Insurance but there case was required to take TPA approval. Hospital told to deposit Rs. 25000/- thousand as admission fees. Then child's father told me to help him in depositing admission money with the assurance that he will repay me after the refund from Hospital, so I deposited Rs. 25000/- in hospital through credit card . Ortho Doctor had advised immediate surgery and told to deposit Rs. 1,25,000/- in the hospital. Again on the request of child's father I had deposited Rs. 1,25,000/- in the hospital. After some time Police had reached in the hospital and on the statement of Child's father FIR under section 279 and 337 of IPC has been filed against me same day. Only after receiving the copy of the FIR I came to know that child's father had given statement that " I was driving with mismanagement and negligence and tried to run away from the accident spot and he stopped my car" but the truth is that I stopped myself and supported them to start treatment of their child.
Child father told me that he will get back the case once his child will recover. It will take 6-8 months to recover his child
After that I release my car from Court order and submitted some documents in the Police Station. I.O. has informed that my case will soon start at two places one in MACT for compensation and other one is criminal case. I have a third party insurance of my car and have all documents of car.
Medical expenditure of child had been cleared by the Medical insurance company and all money deposited in the hospital was taken back by child's father but he had not refunded me Rs. 150,000/- deposited by me and not answering my text messages.
1. I.O. has not taken my statement till date. May I give my statement in Police Statement and describe the whole incidence .
2. Where I can approach to get back money paid by me on behalf of child. I have paid through credit card and have receipts of statement. May I inform it at MACT court or approach my car insurance company to help me to get back my money , or I have to wait for proceeding at criminal court and request the Judge to pass order in this regard.
Thanks
