https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=298026 For motor accident compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the person whose name remains in the registration certificate is treated as the owner under Section 2(30), subject only to the statutory exceptions for a minor, hire-purchase, lease, or hypothecation. Section 50 governs transfer procedure and reporting, but an unregistered sale does not by itself shift liability away from the registered owner until the record is updated. Earlier law under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939 was distinguished because the later definition was a deliberate departure. Requisitioned vehicle and hypothecation cases were also distinguished as turning on possession and control in those specific contexts. en-us Tue, 06 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 20:03:39 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=298026 For motor accident compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the person whose name remains in the registration certificate is treated as the owner under Section 2(30), subject only to the statutory exceptions for a minor, hire-purchase, lease, or hypothecation.
