Issue legal notice to buyer to transfer bike in his favour 

 

2) inform RTO about sale of bike by you . Enclose copy of delivery note and proof of payment s received by you 

3) you can also issue public notice about sale of bike that the seller shall in no way whatsoever be responsible for any misdeeds,unlawful activities or any acts of omission or commission with the bike (state make, model,type of body,registration number, engine and chassis nos.)by the buyer or any other person who directly or indirectly uses the bike for such misdeeds,unlawful activities or any acts of omission or commission. The liability of such misdeeds,unlawful activities or any acts of omission or commission shall solely rest with the buyer of the bike "

 

4) also send letter to local police station that purchaser has not transferred bike  in his name yet and you apprehend bike may be used for terrorist activities .

You should contact the current owner and ask him to transfer the bike to his name.  Also pay the challan. If he doesn't then give an application to the rto and also file a complaint.

A copy of the sale document must also be with the buyer. Ask him for a copy and tel him that you lost yours.

He cannot deny that he has not bought the bike.

issue a legal notice to the buyer and inform to Regional Transport authority and police station to change the ownership of the vehicle.
Police will seize the vehicle immediately as the buyer has not changed the ownership details in RTA Office.
Regional transport Authority is also empowered to seize the vehicle if police do not act.

You have to locate the buyer and take steps to transfer the same to his name immediately or you can give an application to the RTO stating that you have already sold the vehicle to someone whereas he has not transferred the vehicle to his name hence to keep a note of it 

No doubt the second step may not giver you any relief, if yes, you can give a police complaint that the vehicle has been stolen  which will be recorded and a FIR would be registered after which you need not be worried about any such challans.

1. Contact the person immediately to whom you sold the bike and began the process of transfer,

2. Presently it's a matter of one challan only but keep remember the registered owner is liable for any liability towards the vehicle,

3. I am not frightening you but recently a person is burdened with a liability of 18 lakh as his sold vehicle met with an accident and the vehicle was not insured

1. You can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like Cheating, Intimidation, Fraud, Breach of Trust, Mischief etc.... against the person, supported with all relevant supporting Documents & Witnesses. This will atleast indemnify you against futuristic legal prosecutions.

2. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet.

You need to inform the buyer that he should register the same at the earliest. Also inform the local police station and RTO for the sale of the said vehicle

Dear Sir,

Ask that person to file an FIR about lost documents. Use the FIR to reapply for all the documents. When the new documents are received, get a letter of sale and transfer to your name. Then go to RTO office to transfer the bike in your name.

- As per the Supreme Court Judgment, if you sold your vehicle and failed to transfer the ownership through legal way, then you will remain the owner of the vehicle, and further you will be responsible for any untoward incident and accident by the buyer. 

- As per the Indian Motor Vehicle, the transferor (seller) has to inform the Regional Transport Offices (RTO) within 14 days of the transfer of ownership. 

- Further , this Act also instructs the transferee (buyer) to inform the RTO about the change in vehicle ownership and produce all the required documents within 30 days of the transfer.

- You should first lodged your complaint with the police station after narrating all the facts and submit all the documents you have in your support.

- Further, also inform the RTO in written, after enclosing the said police complaint receiving copy , and thereby  request the official to change the ownership.

Send legal notice to company to which it was exchanged to forth with stop plying bike on road till RC not transfer. And any liability arise due to non transfer of RC, accident claim compensation without insurance and use of bike for any illegal act - Company only shall be liable.

Still not changed, file consumer complaint.
