Traffic challans for a bike sold in June 2023 but RC not transferred


17-Jan-2026 (In Civil Law)
I sold my bike (TN09 XX XXXX) to a dealer in June 2023 with a Purchase Estimate as proof, but the RC was never transferred. I have now received two Kerala traffic challans from October 2025 and same has been transferred to Virtual Court automatically after 90 days. Since I am no longer in possession of the vehicle, what should I do in this case because just paying the court fine will admit guilt and contesting the case transfers it to regular court in Kerala whereas I am in Tamil Nadu, Chennai.

Since you sold the vehicle but RC was not transferred, you should immediately submit Form 29 & 30 with sale proof to the concerned RTO and inform them in writing. File a representation before the Kerala Virtual Court attaching sale documents and request dropping of proceedings as you were not in possession. You may also lodge a complaint against the dealer. Paying fine may imply admission; contest with documents to avoid liability.
