Section 2(30) Motor Vehicles Act | Registered Owner Liable for Accident Compensation Despite Unregistered Sale Agreement : MP HC Gwalior
The Madhya Pradesh High Court reaffirms that under Section 2(30) of the Motor Vehicles Act, ownership is defined by RTO registration, not private sale agreements. This means sellers remain legally and financially responsible for accidents until ownership is formally transferred, placing the burden on buyers and sellers to complete RTO formalities to avoid liability.
