Hi

Besides meeting the consultant in Hyderabad ,with that try sending a legal notice to the agency where you sold your bike first.

Ask.them to get the vehicle transferred to the present owner of the vehicle. That agency is responsible for the Non transference of your vehicle by their agent.

Thank You

1. Immediately lodge a police complaint informing that you had sold the bike to the agent of the two wheeler shop as is evident from the records that he has remitted the sale consideration of the bike to the showroom in your account and the said amount was deducted from the amount you were supposed to pay to the show room for buying the new vehicle.

2. The police will trace out from the bank account as to from which account the said amount was transferred to the show room for your buying the new vehicle.

3. Thereafter report the matter to the traffic police department informing them the matter in details.

4. You can inform the police about the name of the auto consultant who has reportedly bought your sdaid vehicle but did not change the ownership.

1. You can send a letter to the traffic department in addition to the complaint to be lodged to your local police station.

2. It is important because your said bike might cause fatal injury tom others or might also be used for any illegal activities for which you shall be hounded by the police.

hi.., as you mentioned about the purchase of the new bike in exchange with your old bike, u paid only the difference amount, which should be clearly mentioned in your new invoice or bill. That will be a clear evidence that you purchased the new bike with an exchange of your old bike, as you paid only the lesser amount than the original bike's cost.(condition: if it is clearly mentioned on the bill as u said) then that will be a good evidence for the entire case. But the facts clearly showing that the old bike is still in your name which is a most concern point here. Until unless the ownership is not transferred you will be liable for the entire consequences. Thus you must lodge a complaint regarding this issue, stating the facts clearly with the supportive Bills which you have paid already for your new bike. And gently request the broker to initiate the Registration process for the ownership transfer of the said old bike. Or else request the new owner of your old bike to do the same,if both are not willing then police complaint will be a crucial one.

For your second question the answer is YES, you file a complaint.

If he is not ready to help you then you should tell him that you may register FIR against him for the offence of theft punishable under section 379 of the Indian Penal Code. According to the document you are the owner of this bike therefore you can file that FIR if the person currently taking possession of the bike is reluctant to assist you in finding the buyer. If ultimately buyer cannot be traced then you should transfer the ownership in the name of current person by moving form 23 of the RTO department.

Hello,

Yes inform the police about the said act and tell them the entire story. The police will then inspect the entire case and then alongwith the copy of the FIR you may contact the RTO office

Mention in the FIR that the show room people cheated and you were told that the formalities will be done at a later stage and that when you approached them they are giving this defense that they do not have any clues. The agency can not escape its liability.

Regards

At least intimate the RTO of the sale of your two wheeler and of the fact that you are no more the owner of the two wheeler in question. This could be sent by way of sending a letter to the RTO.

Having said that, continue with your efforts to trace the buyer and once, you are obtain some success with this, ensure that two wheeler is transferred from your name to his name.

Since you have sold the old vehicle and the amount of sale consideration has been properly adjusted towards the purchase of the new vehicle, you have ample proof for having sold the same to the agents.

Next time when you get challan from police then you may produce the documents and get it recorded in their books so that it will not be repeated and also send a commodification to the RTO office about the sale of the vehicle and produce the details so that they will effect the change of owner.'s name.

You can catch hold the agent and demand him to make the name transfer or else you may inform him that a complaint with the police may be lodged against him for this cheating act.

Sir, can I take up the matter with traffic police like filing a complaint or legal notice ?. Will that be of any use if there is any crime involving my bike at a later stage.

You can take up the matter with the traffic police as well as with the RTO's office and initiate proper legal action so that you can avoid further problems in this regard.
