Well you cannot sell a Bike merely by the way of a Notarised Agreement. You have to follow the proper transfer process as laid down by the concerned RTO laws and rules of the concerned State within a prescribed period of time.

In the above case, If the new owner is not at all responding what can be done by the seller to rectify this issue?

It is generally advisable to respond to the notice from the lawyer, preferably with the assistance of your own legal counsel. Provide them with the necessary information, such as the documentation related to the sale of the bike, including the notary agreement, and any communication or correspondence with the new owner, to explain your position and clarify that you are not the owner of the bike at the time of the accident. If required, cooperate with the legal process as advised by your lawyer. This may include attending court hearings or providing additional documentation to support your claim.
