While driving on the NH from Krishnagiri to Bangalore in the evening

Reported on October 6, 2015 from Krishnagiri , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #69863

While driving on the NH from Krishnagiri to Bangalore in the evening at about 7pm,a pedestrian trying to cross the road against oncoming traffic suddenly dashed against left side of my vehicle and got injured. Even though There is no fault on the part of driver,matter was voluntarily reported immediately to jurisdictional police. But police detained the vehicle for 2 days over weekend and booked a case against driver u/s 279,337 IPC . Vehicle released subsequently after inspection by RTO. Apparently case will go to court and driver of vehicle will also be fined. Is it automatic that a driver is responsible in a road accident though not at fault. What is the legal position?

What's your reaction?
