Hello,

Send him a Legal Notice and in that write that if you do not transfer within 15 days then you will lodge a complaint. Send a signed copy of form 29/30 along with the same.

Take out a public notice stating that you have already sold this bike.

Inform the concerned RTO of the sale of bike and attitude of the buyer who is hesitant in getting the bike transferred on his name.

Send this fellow a legal notice with you.

Please note that the registered owner remains liable for all of the actions if any crime or accident is happened by your vehicle.

So approach the present buyer to make necessary changes in the registration book of the MV Department.

If this does not happen then make a deed of transfer with him which would give you protection from liability arising out of accident or crime.

Dear Sir,

It is grave mistake as recently Supreme Court says it is the RC owner who is liable to pay the compensation if such vehicle met with accident.

Get issue a legal notice and seize such vehicle immediately through police immediately as there is danger as stated above. Cancel the earlier sale transaction on the ground of violation of conditions of sale agreement and sell it to some body else. The SC law is as follows.

1. The initiation had to be from your end. In case of a sale of vehicle the seller has to send intimation to the jurisdictional RTO under Section 50 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Unless the name of the buyer is substituted in place of the seller in the records maintained with the RTO the latter continues to liable for any civil liability arising out of any accident from the vehicle in question.

2. Send the intimation to the jurisdictional RTO along with a copy of the delivery note signed by the buyer.

You can give an intimation to the concerned RTO office stating that you have sold the bike on so and so date and the copy of the receipt may be enclosed.

You can give the details of the person who bought this vehicle from you and may request the officer to make an endorsement in the register against this number in order to avoid any accident claim in this regard in future.
