can I file a suit for misguiding
2 years ago
I went to a commercial building in my car. Since the parking in the building was full, the security guard told me to park my car on the footpath. In the CCTV, it can be seen that he is guiding me to park my car there. After that the traffic police fined an amount of Rs. 620 as per section 177/122. Now that the building is refraining away from this matter, can I take a legal action on them for the fine imposed on me?

A.Hi,
Despite the fact that security requested you to park the automobile, it was your duty since in India, ignorance of the law is not an excuse. The most you can hope for is a reduced fine, but the police are unlikely to agree.
Thank you very much.

A.Hi,
Although the Security asked you to park the car, it was your responsibility since ignorance of law is not an excuse in India. The maximum you can do is ask for a reduced amount of fine, but it is likely that the police will not allow that.
thank you.

A.Legally you can but reasonably do you want to do it? It is your choice and I would suggest that you can send the commercial building management a legal notice as a warning and leave it to that or else you may file a case for wrong or unfair services.

A.You may take legal action against them for tort but since the amount is only INR 620 will you really want to waste your time and money to sue them in Court is the main issue and who will you sue the watchman or the building?? I would suggest you to forge this incident and move on and be careful from next time. However still if you wish you may at your will publish this incident on social media but even in this case it may attract a suit of defamation towards you from the building management therefore take caution that you can prove that you were misguided by the watchman. Thank you.
