Since F.I.R has been filed, we have to approach the Honourable High Court for the quashing of the F.I.R stating that the transfer of movable property was done much before but ultimately the name was not mutated in the registry. No ingredients of section 40 of IPC is fulfilled and therefore, the F.I.R shall be quashed and registered in the name of person who is now the real owner of the movable property.

You can prove your case by circumstancial evidences.
There are many other things relevant here -
Whether that person hold a valid license or not ?
Whether the vehicle was insured or not ?
Who was the owner of the vehicle in OlA and UBER's eyes?
Answer to these questions matters a lot to your case.
