Am a law graduate myself but work with the corporate. In 2006, while in employment with a company I was instructed to get the company's vehicle (with company's ownership )released on superdaari from Moti Nagar PS which I did since it was confiscated by the police officials. Before this the vehicle had met with an accident injuring a person the details of which I was not aware of. The person was discharged after a week from the hospital. I left the company in 2006 itself. I got calls from the PS to appear in the court which i did not attend. The court issued arrest warrants in 2011 which I got cancelled by presenting myself and stating that i do not remember any details of the matter.
Meanwhile, the company sold the vehicle which i came to know thru the driver who was in the court and in whose name the case is titled vs. state.
The magistrate has asked me to produce the vehicle on the next date which is in May, 2011 and has taken on record that I am epileptic patient with lapse of memory occuring occasionally, for which I have produced evidence on record.
I do not know the whereabouts of the present owner of the vehicle.
How should I proceed in the matter. I have the letter of employment of the company who was the owner of the vehicle at the time of accident. Will it be my liability to produce the vehicle when I am not the owner and which I got released on supardaari as a part of my duty under the employment of the Company. The MD of the Company had given me authorisation on co.'s letter head to get the vehicle released in my name as superdaar which is on court record. Please advise as i am already 58 plus of age and do not want any problem in legal proceedings. There is no fatal injury and i was not even with the vehicle when it met with the accident.
