So that men was suddenly fall-down in front of his car and met an accident. That men was dead at that time on accident spot. After that my friend call the nearest police and tell them what is actually happened. Now i want to ask you that what is the legal sections are apply on my friend?? My second question is that is this "hit and run" case ?? because the opposition lawyer put this case as hit and run case. My friend was not run away from accident spot after the accident.So what to do in that case ??

If driver had valid License, vehicle with fitness certificate and Insurance, under the Motor Vehicle Claim the demised person family members will get compensation otherwise it is liable on your friend.
You can get acquired in hit and run case if your Advocate is capable.
