Under section 337 driving rashly and endangering life and safety is punishable

It is compoundable offence

Hi, under section 279 and 337 IPC if you ready for plea guilty then court will impose the fine and close the case but it is better you can engage the service of the advocate.

2. If the pedestrian file a claim petition before the claim tribunal then you are in trouble because you don't have any insurance and you have to pay the compensation to the Pedestrian.

Well, if you have paid the fine and the court has released you, there is nothing more to worry about it.

This will be treated as a minor case without much impact on anything in the future.

There is nothing that you can do now if you do not have third party insurance for your two wheeler, just forget it. You may apply for insurance atleast now.

There is no need for any lawyer now when the whole case has been disposed.

1. Unless the victim files a complaint against you cannot be held liable to pay the fine. Fine as a penalty is imposed only if there is a criminal prosecution.

2. Absence of third party insurance is immaterial unless and until the victim has filed a claim petition for compensation against you.

3. If a date for hearing has been assigned to you by the court then engage a lawyer so that this is given a burial.

1. No it does not. A chargesheet can be filed against you though but not because of absence of insurance.

2. If it comes out during investigation that more sections are made out then they can always be added. You can challenge the addition of sections in the higher court through the corrective process.

1)since you have not taken any third party insurance you would be liable to pay compensation to the victim in case any claim is lodged by him

2) you have to deny that you were driving the car rashly and that accident arose on account of your negligence . in other words contest the case . if you plead guilty generally fine is imposed

3) lack of third party insurance will not affect criminal case against you

Section 279 in The Indian Penal Code deals with Rash driving or riding on a public way.—

Whoever drives any vehicle, or rides, on any public way in a manner so rash or negligent as to endanger human life, or to be likely to cause hurt or injury to any other person, shall be punished with im­prisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.

Section 337 in The Indian Penal Code deals with causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others.—Whoever causes hurt to any person by doing any act so rashly or negligently as to endanger human life, or the personal safety of others, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to five hundred rupees, or with both.

So in an accident case the police put this sections. You have to plead as guilty and pay the fine. Maximum fine of both case is Rs.1500.

it's mandatory to carry the original license & papers/documents.documents. Sec146 of MV act delas with the Necessity for insurance against third party risk.

No person shall use, except as a passenger, or cause or allow any other person to use, a motor vehicle in a public place, unless there is in force in relation to the use of the vehicle by that person or that other person, as the case may be, a policy of insurance complying with the requirements. Riding a vehicle with out valid insurance is a offence and you have to give compensation yourself if the injured make a claim against you.

1.wether lack of third party insurance affect the criminal court proceedings against me ?wether I can get a strict treatment from court in case which is filed by police under section 279 and 337.can they wrote a strong chargesheet against me due to lack of insurance

This will not affect the pending criminal case in anyway. This has got no impact on the criminal case. If the police have assured that the court will let you off with just fine, you may better follow their advise.

2.if fir is done under section 279 and 337 , wether police can add more ipc sections in chargesheet .

In ordinary circumstances they may not add any more sections to the pending FIR.

With the help of valid documents in your possession you could have challenged the case but the court case will stretch for years and you may have to waste your time, energy, and money on litigation as well as lawyer's fee which may be ten times the amount what you may pay it as fine, hence better pay the fine amount, which appears to be very minimum and come out of this crisis for ever.

Hi, lack of insurance police will not affect the criminal proceedings and in the criminal proceedings you have to take the defense that in spite of cautious driving you met with an accident.
