Dear Client,
Vide circular bearing number RT-11036/09/2023 dated 2nd January 2023 issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Govt. of India has provisioned for flagging/blacklisting of vehicles on vahan portal for the registered vehicle owners who defaulted on payment of any taxes or challans of their vehicles under Section 51(5) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and reported by the check post authority under the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989 to the RA/RTO outlining the categories of flagging of vehicle as "Not to be Transacted"(NTBT). As per the said circular, in case the challan is not deposited within 90 days under Rule 167 of CMVR, 1989, the vehicle will be flagged as "Not to be transacted," and the system shall send a text message to the registered owners and the concerned registering authority/RTO. Thus, it is a proven fact that the vehicle was sold with intention to cheat the buyer of the vehicle concealing the material facts. In the given scenario, serving a legal notice to the Seller, you can register a complaint or FIR against him at the local police station for abatement/concealment of material facts and cheating under Sections 45 and 318 of the Bharatiya Naya Sanhita(BNS). You can also sue the seller for damages, specific performance, or rescission of the contract. You must gather evidence of the seller's fraudulent actions and abatement of material facts to prove your claims in the court. So, considering the complexity involved in the matter, consultation with a lawyer is crucial to understand the specific remedies available and to pursue appropriate legal action to navigate the matter legally and effectively.
