1.If the accident occurred purely out of negligence of the company then the Director of the Company who was responsible for the day to day to affairs of the company and the concerned in charge who was liable to maintain proper infrastructure can be prosecuted for causing death out of negligence.

He was a heavy vehicle driver and was on duty as a co-driver. He received massive heart attack. He was taken to a Government hospital, where, he was pronounced dead by the duty doctor.

The accident occurred purely due to ignorance. I am very-much moved by the incident and I demand a legal action against the company management for carelessness & indifference.

If you were aware of the accident you could have reported the matter to police immediately without taking the consent of the company.

However since the company has suppressed the matter from the outside world, the company may pressure on you to remain silent or the company may decide to avenge you with adverse acts against you by which your career may be under stake.

You can decide judiciously about this issue, i.e., whether to risk your career/employment due to this or to quit the employment and go further with yor complaint about this accident.

You can even consider if it is worth fighting against the mammoth power called the company and the power of the people behind the company.

I like to know weather a criminal case can be filed against the Company Management for hiding the case and not reporting properly. And where I can file such case at Hyderabad, Telangana State, India. Since the personal responsible for the accident are still enjoying good position in the company and due to their dire carelessness, a life is lost, and I am very-much moved by the incident as a responsible citizen of this country.

You can report the accident and the events that led to this disaster and can name those persons responsible for this accident i.e., due to their careless and reckless attitude/activity.

Whatever it may be, the police would register the complaint as an accident alone and would initiate action on that line only, which is not enough to punish the culprits.

You can analyse all the facts and then decide about proceeding any further on this issue.

You can contact the family members of deceased and help them in getting justice by lodging FIR and claiming compensation

2) if police refuse to lodge FIR then file private complaint before magistrate under section 156(3) of crpc ti direct police to investigate and submit report

Nothing prevents you from moving police station to register a complaint from your side however be sure that the relatives of the deceased support you.

The company will suppress the matter stating that nothing has happened that way and the deceased died due to heart attack.

The relative also would support company since they have already received the compensation amount.

Try if your luck favors you.
