Dear forum members ,
Frankly speaking, i didnt know such forums exists till i got in to all troubles in recent days.First of thanks for all your helps in advance.
I am looking for some legal advice on this scenario happend to me and want to know if there is anything unusual or it this how in this country as per rules.
I am driving a 2 wheeler (KA registration) in Bangalore since 2006 and own a Karnataka DL .
June-2012 I brought my KL registration car from kerala.
Last week RTO stopped me for not having LRT and siezed my RC original and DL original.and after all calculations they asked me to pay 49,000 KA road tax for 2010 Model Santro.
Now the worst part .. I am moving permanently to US by Jan, and already started shifting things back home. I produced my company assignment letter but RTO is least interested.
after lot of running around in RTO office, they say Pay 49,000 road tax ,and claim refund when you go back .
Now few questions.
1)5 months in Bangalore - Is it legal to ask for life time road tax in Karnataka.
2)RTO hold my RC book and DL originals - is it legal
3)Now only option in front of me is pay 49,000 LRT this month , and move to kerala and request for refund from Karnataka. All has to happen in two months time. Whole process sounds weird to me :(
Please advice if going to court /high court going to help in this case ?I dont know how the sytem works but i would be happy to represent public and fight against such weird rules (if there is any slim chance) .
Thank you !
