Sir,
I need your suggestion.
This is regarding the sale of a used car of my brother. He has purchased a new car from the car dealer in Kolkata and gave the old car. A certain amount has been adjusted with the new car. During the handover, the car dealer provided their delivery challan.
We have provided them with all the required car documents in original, along with the car and keys. Everything has been mentioned in their delivery challan. This happened in 2013.
Later in 2016, when we received a case and contacted the dealer, we came to know that the car dealer has sold the car. We visited the Car Dealer's office and discovered that they had sold the car on 26.12.2013 but did not inform us. During our visit in 2016, they provided us with Form-29, Form-30, delivery note, purchaser PAN (copy), and others. We have communicated with him and the car dealer many times for the name change, but it has not been done till today. We have also submitted a sale intimation letter to the concerned department at Lal Bazar, Kolkata.
Now, could any one of you suggest to me what to do next?
Regards,
From India, Kolkata

Dear CJIT,
First of all, please clarify what type of case it was "Later in 2016 when we received a case and contacted the dealer in 2016."
Secondly, immediately send a legal notice through one prudent local lawyer to the purchaser as well as the dealer and instruct him/her to transfer the vehicle.
Also, if the issue remains unresolved even after sending a legal notice, file a case for the transfer of the vehicle as well as for claiming maintenance for the mental harassment caused to you.
For further clarification or information, please call or email me.

Dear Mr. Suneel Moudgil,
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.
Actually I meant cases, we have received 5-6 notices from Traffic department, Kolkata for “Minor Traffic Violation.” Since it is still in the name of my brother so these types of notices are sent to my brother’s address.
When contacted the purchaser whom the car dealer sold the car, says, “I will do it but never says I will not do it!” When sending mails to the car dealer who is the mediator in this case are not replying. They have called 3-4 months ago!
So we are having a plan if we get a self declaration note from the purchaser on a stamp paper and notarized where there will be a summary of all incidents as on date, so how it will be?
In this regard could it be possible to make a sale agreement also between my brother and the purchaser. These two steps are because of just a safe guard!
And then send the copies of all the mail correspondences along with these notarized documents and other necessary documents to the RTO.
Again shall be much oblized if you could suggest us how to solve this issue!

CJIT,
As you mentioned minor cases like "Minor Traffic Violation," let's consider a more serious scenario. What if a terrorist activity was carried out using your vehicle or if an accident was caused by your vehicle - who would be held responsible?
The police would promptly initiate proceedings against the registered owner upon receiving vehicle details from the RTO office. And in your case, you are aware of who the registered owner is.
Receiving 5-6 notices implies that these notices were reaching your brother over a span of approximately a year, indicating that the vehicle is still registered in his name. Have any efforts been made by him to transfer the vehicle? None.
This is a critical issue that needs immediate attention. It is advised to expedite the transfer of the vehicle into the purchaser's name as soon as possible.
If your brother sells the vehicle further, the situation will become more complex.
Therefore, take prompt action, as previously recommended by me.
If you can obtain a notarized sale/purchase agreement and an affidavit summarizing all incidents, it would be beneficial. However, you need to make the necessary efforts yourself - do not delay.
Upon acquiring the agreement and affidavit, send him a legal notice and commence Police and Court proceedings.
For any additional clarifications or legal queries, feel free to call or email me.

Dear Mr. Suneel Moudgil,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We have obtained the notarized document and an affidavit containing a summary of all incidents. We have made several attempts to proceed with the name change, but unfortunately, it has not been completed yet.
Recently, we received a call from him informing us that he has sold the car to another person and has shared our details with the new owner. He mentioned that he would provide us with the new owner's details as well. I expressed my concern about this situation, questioning how it was possible for him to sell the car without notifying us, especially after signing a legal document.
Could you please advise us on the next steps to take in this matter?
Regards,
From India, Kolkata
