Vehicle owner as per RTO records liable for accident: Supreme Court
Dec 23, 2018 : Dtf.in
The vehicle owner as per the RTO records is liable for accident. Hon’ble Supreme Court, in its judgment dated 14.12.2018, has held as under:-
“The law is thus well settled and can be summarised:-
“Even though in law there would be a transfer of ownership of the vehicle, that, by itself, would not absolve the party, in whose name the vehicle stands in RTO records, from liability to a third person … ……
Merely because the vehicle was transferred does not mean that such registered owner stands absolved of his liability to a third person. So long as his name continues in RTO records, he remains liable to a third person.””
