Legal Question in Personal Injury in India

I am from Maharashtra. I have ipc 279, 338 and 304-A charged on me for rash, negligence driving and for causing a death. My car had hit a pedestrian. He was injured and then died two months after the accident.

I am a serviceman and responsible person in my family. What will be the punishment/penalty in this case? Will there be any imprisonment if I am unable to proof that I am not guilty. And is there any alternative in case if imprisonment has to be avoided?

Soon, I may get transferred to other city in my current job. Don't know what to do. Experts advice will be highly appreciated.

If negligence is proved and you are found guilty then punishment will be both fine and imprisonment. It is better you try for settlement or else try to prove that you are not at fault.
