Hello, When you sold your car, you must have completed certain formalities such as executing a sale agreement, submitting Form 29 and Form 30, and possibly an affidavit. These documents can serve as evidence of the sale. Additionally, any transaction record showing receipt of payment can also be used as proof. For more accurate guidance, I would need the complete details of your case. Please feel free to share the full background.

Go and appear before the court of law and submit your documents for your defense. It is however the liability of the owner to get the vehicle transferred, but firstly it is important to see what the case is actually.

Since you sold your car and handed over RTO transfer documents and possession to the buyer, you must immediately collect proof of such sale — like delivery note, copy of signed Form 29 & 30, payment receipts, and any communication with the buyer. Under Section 50 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the buyer is legally responsible to transfer the vehicle in his name. However, until the transfer is updated in RTO records, you remain the registered owner, and can be held liable for third-party claims.
