A. Dear Client,
Here grounds behind the cancellation of a sold-out vehicle matter the most. When the transfer of ownership of the vehicle has already been approved by the concerned RTO in compliance with the standing procedures of the Motor Vehicles Act, such approval cannot be revoked if your appeal for cancellation does not have any merit. Ownership of a vehicle once transferred or changed cannot be revoked.

While giving powers or any decision making authority to the outsiders, make sure the bylaws are enough strong and the other members confers the power to take emergency decisions whenever required. This will reduce the risk of any misuse of power, yet will maintain the legacy and respect towards your grandfather an ...ReadMore
