Reading: My friend, who doesn’t have a license and the bike isn’t registered in his name, was riding with two others on January 26th when they hit a man. Sadly, the man passed away, and my friend is seriously injured in the hospital. The other two on the bike are alright. The family of the deceased, who was unmarried, is demanding 4 lakhs. The police are waiting for the postmortem report before filing an FIR. My friend is in the defense force and currently on leave. What kind of legal issues might we face now?

Your friend faces serious legal issues, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder (Section 304 IPC) due to driving without a license and unregistered vehicle. The family’s demand for compensation is likely to be pursued through a civil suit. The police investigation will determine the extent of your friend’s liability, and his military status won’t exempt him from legal consequences.
