owner of acommercial vehicle died. The successord got permit renewed in the name of deceased. this was an expedient step,as one of the heirs lives abroad and could not present self before aothorities to give consent to change of ownership..This was done through agent. He signed an affidavit in the deceased's name.
Now when transfer of ownership case sent to RTA, they are threatening to take action by lodging FIR. We contend that we have paid the fee due to govt. and we have not cheated any of the heirs of ownership of vehicle, as such we have done nothing illegal.
Yes, an expedient and incorrect step was taken, but that was to keep vehicle running, as such any administrative action as suspension of permit for some time would have sufficed. I am not aware of position of law. please advice........should I be worried.
