My motorcycle was sold through a mechanic in 2010 to someone I didn’t know. He got my signature on the transfer papers but never actually transferred the ownership. I was unaware of his intentions and didn’t ask for a proper sale agreement. Now in 2017, the bike was involved in an accident and the police have filed a case against me. The bike is still registered in my name, and I’m being held responsible for something I didn’t do. What can I do to get out of this situation? The police harassment is unbearable.

You should immediately file a police complaint against the mechanic for fraud and forgery. You can also approach the Motor Vehicle Department to provide proof of the sale and initiate the transfer of ownership. You can also file a writ petition in the High Court against the police harassment and seek an injunction against any further action.

I bought a used car from someone. It’s registered in another person’s name. I got into an accident and the police took the car. After the case closed, the court ordered the car to be released to me. But the police gave it back to the original owner. He said I can have it once I register it in my name, but he’s not giving me the needed papers. Now he’s ignoring me and the police say it’s not their problem. What can I do?

My sister tragically passed away in a car accident in Madukkarai, Coimbatore on December 27th, 2015. The car, driven by my brother-in-law, collided with a truck on the national highway. While the police FIR report states the truck driver was negligent, no arrest has been made. I’m concerned about the delay in justice and the lack of clarity surrounding the accident. The case is currently pending in court, with an estimated 24-36 month wait for review. Is this a typical timeline? Are there any ways to expedite the process? Furthermore, there has been no professional investigation into the circumstances of the accident. We haven’t received any information on whether the truck driver was intoxicated, if the truck was in proper working order, or if they were speeding. Is there a reputable law firm in Coimbatore that can represent us and potentially conduct a private investigation to uncover the truth?

Is it against the law in India to drive a car without an internal rearview mirror, even if it has both outside mirrors? Do Indian traffic rules mandate having an internal mirror, or can we rely solely on the external ones?

My accident happened 13 years ago, I filed a claim but the person never appeared in court and the case was closed. Can you suggest what I can do? I need help.

I was driving my car carefully on a road with no divider. Suddenly, a biker speeding from the opposite direction swerved into my lane and crashed head-on into my vehicle. I stopped immediately, but he was going so fast that he and his bike ended up on top of my car before falling off far behind. I’m still shaken by the incident. Now, he’s filed a claim for INR 45 Lacs, accusing me of negligence. It feels unfair, as I was driving within my lane and at a safe speed. While I sympathize with his injuries, I’m hesitant to file a counter-complaint.
