Does the law apply to Harish Salve's Bentley?

Read the Legallyindia story on a man who died in a car accident involving Harish Salve's Bentley at http://www.legallyindia.com/201405144713/Bar-Bench-Litigation/man-dies-crashing-into-harish-salve-s-bentley-now-family-considers-suing-salve


Does the law not require the registration of an FIR? 



The undisputed facts are that a man died in a car accident involving two cars - A Wagon R (driven by the man who died) and a Bentley (owned by Harish Salve). 

A man died in a motor accident - does the law not require a police investigation into culpability after registration of an FIR? The investigation might conclude that the accident was caused by the deceased or it might conclude that the Bentley driver was culpable in causing death due to rash or negligent driving. 

But is an FIR not the necessary first step that must precede a full police investigation?
