        Hello all, I was involved in a road accident an year ago. The other person suddenly came in front of my bike around midnight and since it was dark and I hit him.he fell and had injury and I too fell and had injuries.

        He had a small operation and I had stitches to the head. They put a case on me under section IPC 337.

        I had 4 hearings till now and I was present all times. The case was running b/w me and traffic ps.

        In the latest hearing court informed to get a lawyer for the next hearing.

        I talked with the constable from ps and he said there are multiple ways to proceed through…

        1 is admitting and paying fine then closing case.
        2 is compromise with the other party.
        3 is getting a lawyer, paying surities and then after witnesses and other party hearing a verdict based on hearing.

        He said if I admit or convicted then i’ll be going to jail and it will also cause to not be eligible for govt jobs and may cause issues with job background checks and issues when trying to go outside of country with visas and stuff.

        I tried contacting the other party for compromise but they are not responding.

        I am not sure if i should admit and get the case close as it may cause issues wit hbgv check for jobs and also abroad opportunities.

        I am also planning to speak with a lawyer.

        Any advice on how should I proceed. Thanks.

                Get a lawyer.

                Without specifica of the case it is impossible to tell you what is the best strategy forward

                  Why would you take advice from police?
                  Seriously
