Hello sir, it is advisable the file a FIR regarding the same , to safeguard yourself from any further legal liability

You signed the paper and keep a copy of the sale receipt and transfer of ownership copies to prove that you have done your part. If he intentionally omit to do a legal act which he is bound to do, then he will be in trouble. You need not worry as long as you have executed you role legally.

Hello,

You will not face any trouble. As and when if you are called by the court then you can depose before the court that the vehicle has been sold by you and that you were not in the possession of the vehicle at the time of accident/ illegal activity.

Firstly, it is your responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is transferred from your name to the name of the purchaser.

If he's not paying heed to any of your requests for transfer, you must inform both RTO and the Police.

If the vehicle has already been seized in relation to illegal and criminal activities, you will have to demonstrate with sufficient documentary proof that you have already sold you vehicle.

If you have intimated the RTO under Section 50 of Motor Vehicle Act about the transfer of vehicle and the delivery note has been given to you by the buyer then no liability shall fall on you for any crime committed by him with the sold vehicle.

Hi

You should not be in any kind of trouble.

The state is different and you have completed all the formalities from your side.

So nothing to worry.

Thank You

Once you have done the legal procedure you don't have to bother about the same. Just inform police station and regional transport office about the said sale along with your copy of delivery note.
