Ownership of Motor Vehicle- Legal Implications of not transferring R.C. of vehicle

Most of us who are having motor vehicle at one point of time use to sell our vehicle and it is generally done by executing a sale deed and get it registered by Notary Advocate and consequently we deliver the possession of vehicle to buyer along with the Registration certificate and other documents. Generally we don't bother about the transfer of vehicle's registration certificate and some times it comes with heavy cost.
In case the vehicle met with an accident or involved in some other case and the R .C. of the vehicle is not transferred yet. you will be considered as owner of the vehicle for all purposes.

The Supreme Court in its Judgement in Civil Appeal 2632 of 2020 decided on 18 June 20 , Surendra kumar Bhilawe vs New India Insurance Company Limited  held  that till the time ownership is not transferred by entering the name of new owner in registration certificate, the person on whose name the registration certificate is considered as owner of the vehicle for all purposes.
