Superdar Liability Limited to Vehicle Value or Superdari Bond; Registered Owner & Driver Jointly Liable | Motor Vehicles Act : P&H HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a superdar (subsequent purchaser without registration transfer) is liable only up to the vehicle's value or the superdari bond amount, not the full compensation award. The registered owner and driver remain jointly and severally liable for the entire amount, and courts must impose conditions safeguarding the claimants' lien on the vehicle.
