Liability for a Vehicle Sold Under Superdari


07-Sep-2023 (In Motor Accident Law)
I sold a vehicle with a notarised Vehicle Sales Agreement under Superdari (which states that the Buyer is responsible for the vehicle in all respects)in a car accident case. He has issued a signed Delivery Note stating that he is liable for all issues pertaining to the vehicle. After acquittal I sent the RC to the buyer with signed transfer forms requesting him to transfer the vehicle in his name. Despite reminders he has not complied. Who is liable in case of an accident or other matters such as fines for driving without insurance or other traffic violations - the Buyer or me?

If a vehicle is involved in a case then one cannot sale the same before acquitted. In Supardari there are some conditions to be followed like the vehicle cannot be transferred or sold prior to the disposal of the case.
after acquittal you get the authority to sell. If you sell after the acquittal and having agreement then you have to send a notice to the buyer as well as an application to the rto mentioning that buyer is not intended to get the vehicle transfer in his name . In that case only you can escape from the liability.

Hello the vehicle owner whose name is registered on the vehicle registration certificate shall be responsible for any liability. you should get the name transferred if the purchaser is not getting it done and you don't have original RC send him a legal notice and also file a police complaint so as you can take defense in case of any evantuality.
