Car sold but Buyer's agency not changing the ownership in RTO
17-Feb-2023 (In Documentation Law)
I sold my car to an Agency on Nov 2, 2017. I have received the money and the delivery note from the Agency. But the Agency has still not transferred the ownership from me. Also I found out that the Agency has already sold the car to another customer. My question is what can I do now to protect myself from any liabilities since the car is still in may name as the owner. Please advice. Thanks.
