Motor accident
3 years ago
Mr. X (his wife,& 3 friends) car and Mr. Y(carrying 12 members) auto had an accident. At the time of accident, mr. X (remaining people left)was only one there at the accident spot ,he was in a shock after the incident. The accident took place on an agency highway, so 20 people gathered and threatened mr. X that they will beat him till his death. They took mr. X to a lawyer, dt mr. X will get those injured persons (2 mem, nothing serious, just minor injuries, gets well in a week)get treated and will repair the damaged auto., In dt case they don't go to police station. The lawyer and the remaining persons threatened and frightened mr. X and they forcefully signed into an agreement(a4 sheet, no stamp paper). They demanded that mr. X should take them to a private hospital . Mr. X did al the treatment and they discharged. Now the problem is one of the patient filed a case against Mr. X in police station and FIR filed. Now mr. Y is asking money for the damaged auto. And the lawyer of mr. Y is threatening that he will file a cheating case if mr. X don't give money to mr. Y.
My ques: 1) can a lawyer threaten mr. X like this? He also threatened mr. X and forcefully signed an agreement on A4 sheet paper at the tym of accident.

It seems the entire thing done, with Mr. X is quite illegal. Signature or consent obtained forcefully is an offence. Mr. X can prove his innocence by filing a case, and before the appropriate authority.
It would be suggested that Mr X should immediately consult an advocate and handover the matter to avoid further Mishappenings.
And lastly a good lawyer never ever threatens or harass any innocent, without proper proof against him or her. That is beyond ethics .

Any signatures taken in force or cohesion is not valid as it is done forcefully. A good lawyer would never threaten outside but would rather make submissions infront of the court

First of all such cases fall into the category of MACP cases and criminal cases can't be filed against Mr. X by Mr. Y or his advocate.
You (Mr.X) can file claim case against Mr. Y by hiring an advocate and get the compensation for the loss suffered by you.
Kindly feel free to contact me for any further needs and I shall help you out.
I hope you have got a satisfactory result and kindly rate me appropriate stars.
Thank you
