Sold bike but didn't transfer ownership
05-Dec-2023 (In Motor Accident Law)
Hello, I had sold my bike 6 months ago the buyer didnt transfer it in his name and he sold it to another person who further sold it and that person had an accident. Police notice arrived at my house since it was still showing under my details. I had completed all formalities before selling but still the cop holds me responsible an I have been held responsible.I have been called in the court of law tomorrow. How am I supposed to tackle this issue. Please advice at the earliest.
Find the person to whom you sold the bike and get the transfer formalities completed in your supervision. If he is unwilling, atleast get him to sign and deliver a vehicle delivery note to you. The date on the note must be be the date on which you sold the bike (approx will do) i.e. a back dated note.
If both the above is not possible, please draft a letter to your RTO and tell them that you sold the bike to XYZ person and that you had obtained a Delivery note from him/her. But now you have misplaced the delivery noyte and it has just come to your notice that the vehicle has not been transferred to the buyer's name. As such, they may exclude your name from any liability that may arise from the use/misuse of the vehicle. They might make a few inquiries and then close the matter. Let me know if you need help with drafting the notice.
