Question
I was working as a staff in a petrol pump when I was 21(2 years ago).one day there was so many customers and I was attending them one by one.One of a customer started to argue with me telling me that he had been waiting for long time and used bad words to me and he beated me. As a self defence I beated him back and it been like a fight. He filed attempt to murder case against me. I had an advocate dealing the case since it started but now as I had to take the bail ,the advocate left me and he warned me to take bail before it become warrant.But the main problem for me is that a job is waiting for me to join,but as I had a case in my name I can’t even apply for the passport or I can’t leave the country. I don’t know what to do? I want to end this case as far as possible.What to do? Someone please reply and help

In your case scenario, you are required to apply for bail and defend your case. if your lawyer is not cooperative, you can approach legal aid department of the district court where the case is pending and seek assistance from them to appoint an advocate for your case. You may not be permitted to leave the country if the challan has been presented against you by the police. when you apply for the passport, disclose the factum of pending FIR against you otherwise you will not be issued any passport.
