Refusal to give valid car registration documents despite full payment


02-Jan-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)

I had acquired a car through an agent but it is over 09 months that he has not handed over the valid Car Registration Documents- this despite making full payment to him in advance.Every time I talk to his agency/ staff ,they keep making some excuse or the other but are not forthcoming as to the reason for this delay. I am paying EMI s for the loan taken but cannot use the car as it lacks proper documents.Desire legal aspect of this !!

You cannot be declared the lawful owner of the vehicle in question until and unless you acquire the legal documents required. A notice first and then a civil suit can be filed at the appropriate court for obtaining the documents. In addition to this, a criminal case of cheating and fraud under IPC can also be filed.

Dear Querist You may file a cheating case u/s 420 IPC against the agent. For this you need to show that the agent had made a genuine agreement/deal with you and that since the inception of the agreement, the agent had the intention of cheating you. Since you are unable to use the car, you may also file a civil case for monetary damages. Regards

First of all this is very important to know that the agent is carrying on its business under some registered company or firm name or individually to file a consumer complaint, otherwise you can also file criminal complaint against him for cheating, criminal breach of trust and several several other offences punishable under Sections 403, 409, 420, 421 etc. You can also file civil suit together with the criminal case for speedy relief. Thanks
