Seeking advise


02-May-2023 (In Motor Accident Law)
Sir, last month when i was travelling with my father to my hometown suddenly my father felt uneasiness and handed me over the vehicle and asked me to drive and because of my interest in my driving i overtook but to my worst luck the front tyre of the car got burst and i could not control the car because of which the car fell into the farm which was 4-5 feet deep alongside the road. Due to this tragic accident i lost my father on the spot & i sustained fracture of scapula bone and blunt injury to the thorax because of which i have been advised bed rest for 1 month. Although there were no eye witnesses during the incident the police have registered the case under section IPC 279, 338, 304a after collecting information from the local people. Till now chargesheet has not been filed. And also i don't have my driving license. So kindly advise me how should I deal with this and also will this affect my aspiration for Government job. Now I'm responsible for my family so please help me out.

Mam driving without license is an offence, but not so serious. Death is caused due to accident. So, police have filed the charge sheet. The remaining facts you have narrated are your defense. It appears from the facts you narrated it is due to mechanical trouble i.e. burst of Tyre the accident occurred.
Please have the advice from the experienced advocate.
The problems are redress-able. Good Luck.

Purely it was an accident. But defending is very difficult. You must defend in the court that you never driven the vehicle. If you admit then the Court will convict you and sentence you to minimum 6 months simple imprisonment. But take advise in person.
