MPID Act & Bona Fide Purchasers | Registered Vehicle Ownership Shields Buyers from Seizure Despite Seller's Fraud : Bombay HC

Bombay HC rules that bona fide purchasers who register vehicles in their name before any legal prohibition cannot be deprived of their property, even if the seller is accused of financial fraud under the MPID Act, unless collusion is proven. The judgment reinforces the protection of innocent buyers in asset recovery proceedings, impacting fraud victims and law enforcement agencies.
