Four months ago, my car’s back door accidentally brushed against a motorbike, causing the rider to fall. I took him to the government hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries. I tried to compensate for the damage to his bike, but his relatives gathered and kept me waiting for hours without revealing their demands. Feeling unsafe, I left for my family’s well-being. Recently, the traffic police contacted me, asking me to visit the station with my vehicle. They registered a case under sections 279, 337, and 187, provided me with a copy of the complaint, and issued a bond for my vehicle’s release after I got it cleared from the RTO. My car was undamaged. The police informed me that I only need to pay a fine of ₹1500 in court when summoned. What happens next? Will the case be closed after paying the fine? I have third-party insurance. Can they add more charges or file additional complaints? Do I need to involve my insurance for this matter? Kindly advise.

Based on the information provided, you will likely have to appear in court and pay the fine of ₹1500. The case may be closed after you pay the fine, but the police could add further charges or file additional complaints if new evidence emerges. Your third-party insurance may cover the legal costs and compensation, but it’s best to consult your insurer for advice and to ensure a smooth process.
