Are you having an registered agreement for sale executed and registered between you and first party??

if so than issue a legal notice to seller to promptly remove car from black list as you have legal purchased it from him and if any claim from third party pending the first party has to settle it its not your liability. On failure to act in accordance of notice the first party shall be liable to pay damages and criminal complaint for same can be filed.

Secondly make an covering letter attach the agreement copy and send to rto with request to transfer and for record, also furnish prescribed forms signed by seller for transfer. Further make a request rto to remove name from blacklist as first party has illegally done so. RTO will look into the matter.

Also what is the case pending on the vehicle???.

1. It was wrong on your part not change the registration certificate as the responsibility of earlier owner will continue with you .

2. Since you did not change the blue book you could not know the pending cases against the car as well.

3. Now the only option is to take information from the RTO and take necessary measures to remove the block.

4. if there is way then it will be done . Otherwise you can not bring this car to road anymore.

Dear Sir,

You must be having some documents of private nature and payment details. Then the registered owner steallthily done such thing with RTO authorities. In fact he is the Regd. Owner. Hence have to take such defence. The relavant law is available with me.

What is the case about and were you not aware of the pending case at the time of purchase and what were you doing without getting the vehicle transferred to your name for all these four years ?

If ther is a court case pending against the vehicle, you may have to wait for the clearance or else you may ask your seller to clear the case or to take back and return the money
