Dear client,

If you have received a summons for a drunk driving case in Pune, the main issue is usually against the person who was actually driving the vehicle, not necessarily the registered owner of the car. So even if the car is in your brother’s name, liability for drunken driving primarily falls upon the driver at the time of the incident. Under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, drunk driving cases are generally filed based on the breath analyser report, medical examination, and police chall

Dear Client,

You were stopped by traffic police while driving your scooter, and although you cooperated, an officer took your key and issued a challan of Rs. 18,000 for multiple violations such as lack of HSRP number plate, PUC, and insurance under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988; since you missed your court date on 4 May 2026 at Saket Court Complex, you should immediately visit the court, inform them about the missed appearance, and request a fresh date or recall of the matter, as delaying furth

Dear Client,

In a road accident resulting in death, liability depends on who was driving and whether there was rash or negligent driving, so if your wife was not the rider, she generally won’t face criminal liability, and even if she was driving, a case would only arise if negligence is established through investigation, not merely because an accident happened.

Dear Client,

The FIR under BNS 281 and 125(a) for a road accident is a bailable and minor offence and will not automatically affect your compassionate appointment or future government job. A problem usually arises only if you are convicted by a court, not merely because a case is registered.

Since the accident appears disputed and you were not solely at fault, you should defend the case properly by taking bail if needed and collecting evidence like photos, CCTV, or witnesses. If you are acqu

Dear Client,
In the hit-and-run case, police files an FIR on both the persons involved in a road accident based on the nature of accident that varies from case to case. In motor accident cases both the owner and driver of the vehicles are liable to face prosecution proceedings initiated before the Motor Accident Claim Tribunal once an FIR is lodged in the police station and the legal heirs of the deceased victim and the injured persons apply to the Tribunal under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicl

Dear Client,
In the hit-and-run case, police files an FIR on both the persons involved in a road accident based on the nature of accident that varies from case to case. In your case, FIR is filed under Section 125 of BNS for causing hurt to any person, Section 281 of BNS for rash and negligent driving, Section 324(4) BNS mischief causing loss or damage to property and Section 325, BNS that addresses the punishment or penalty for mischief by killing or maiming an animal.

Dear Sir,
Since you are in Bangalore, Karnataka, the local Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal will handle the case. The specific amount you can get under a "fault liability" claim is not a pre-determined maximum; it is an amount that the tribunal deems "just and reasonable" based on the specific facts and evidence of your case.

Dear Sir,
Since you don't have the other party's vehicle number or contact details, filing a formal complaint would be difficult. A police report usually requires specific information about the other vehicle and driver. You can, however, file a General Diary (GD) entry at the nearest police station to document the incident from your perspective. This isn't a formal complaint but serves as an official record of the event.
Since no major damage or injury was caused and you did not exchange informa
