The settlement letter, where they've agreed for no "karyavahi" is also with me(copy).
Can someone experienced, or maybe some lawyers can guide as to whether I should go to court? If so, what would be the procedure. I cant be available 24/7 for this.
They've also asked me to bring my car, both vehicles will need to be impounded. and should I carry original papers of the car, or copies?
Kind of urgent. |
And so, another event materializes dramatically, unfolds like sludge.
The father of the "victim" complained to the CP office that they got into an accident and were dismissed by the police station, and hence, they did not get any remuneartion from me. This was why the cops had asked me to come over, with my car, as the "victim" had put them in the docks, and they will have to file an FIR, my car will be seized, as will the "victims", and I will have to present bail, and engage the insurer's lawyer, file a claim(?), and appear in court.
Headache, yes?
Guess what the dirtbag wanted?
Money. A 100k of it.
I had a lawyer, and my doctor father with me, who fortunately is a rehab specialist.
The father was there, making a case, "I want justice", bla bla....The lawyer saw the MLC report, my father saw it, and he also checked out the Xrays, and other reports, and told our lawyer that there is no need of a plaster, or even the 45 days laid-out bedrest the "victim" is claiming. The cops were told of this, and they see such stuff 10 times a day, with "victims" rolling up in fresh plaster.
After the "insaaf chahiye" naatak, the father was told to go home, get his son, for a statement. And he was asked to bring the 10k giver earlier, as someone cannot be punished twice for same crime. The creep moved off, but started talking to someone over the phone, we could see him, and then came back, said he cant give the 10k back, so work something out. My lawyer then stepped in again and asked him how much he wanted. He said 1 lac, at which point he was told that he will not get a penny. file a case, we'll see you in court. The cops took him to his house to get a a statement from the "victim", who then decided he could hobble, and brought him to the station.
In a fresh plaster.
Not even a trace of dirt even on the heel.
Mind you, the cops are as pissed with these crooks now as we are, since theyve been put in a spot.
The SHO told me that you made a mistake giving him anything the first time. Now if you give anymore, it'll be even bigger.
Again, the same crap, with an added twist from the "victim".
"You didnt even check up on me", "you didnt come to see me", and "you blacklisted my number"....by which point, our looks of incredulity could have been used as acting school case studies! for incredulity.
This was translated amply by the SHO as, "Why B#****, are you his girlfriend?", in hindi, in the correct dialect.
So on an official piece of paper, they prepared a response to the CP office.
Did you take money as settlement? yes.
Are you giving it back? no.
Therefore, no FIR can be registered.
They were then sent packing, hobbling after having spent 400 bucks on a new cast. And the "victim" was asked why is he so delicate???
We checked with the hospital, they never put the cast on him before, or yesterday, or ever.
Their was no case, it would have been thrown out at first hearing.
The car would have been seized, and released same day. If required, just the keys and papers would be deposited.
Bail is immediate in such a case.
Hearings happen after 45 days on average.
The general opinion is they've been speaking to some lawyer who has shown them the gold of MACT.
reminds me of amitabh's muses from "hum". 2 type k...

This after I had expedited clearance of his insurance claim NEFT in 3 days from date of filing. (Edit: of which the father knew nothing since his broken boy didnt tell him!!
