How long can one file a case after an accident?

When I was 12 years old I met with an accident, where I lost the control of the bike and hit someone. I was not speeding I was going at the speed of 30 km/hr. He went unconscious. I didn't run at that time. I stayed their and people helped me. As he was a stranger to me I don't know whether he is ok or not right now. This incident happened before 10 years ago. Now I am 22 years old doing My CA planning to pursue IRS. But this trauma continues throughout my life. Whether I will punished for this now? If the victim files a case? If yes based on minor law or what law?

It's highly unlikely you will be punished now, 10 years after the incident. In India, for a criminal case to be initiated, a complaint needs to be filed within a specific timeframe. Contact us on helpline number for further enquiry.
