in case of accident the liability is on the person who purchased on the vehicle as per sale of goods act though registration is not transferred on his name.

MACMA- 674 of 208 decided on 02-03-209 High Court of A.P- 2011 ACJ 1076    Uppala Muralidhar Rao, Vs K.Bla Krishna Reddy and others. The transfer of ownership of a vehicle is matter governed not by the MV Act but by the provisions of the sale of goods act. Transfer made in accordance with the sale of Goods act must preceded registration certificate and that certificate is not document of title. It  follows therefore that, what is essence is the actual transfer of the property in the vehicle and not the certificate of registration.  Therefore in case of accident the liability is on the person who purchased on the vehicle as per sale of goods act though registration is not transferred on his name.
