Hi,
I am from Trichy, Tamilnadu. I had bought a second hand car a few months before. I had changed the ownership of the car in the RC book, but the insurance was not transferred yet then.
In this condition, on national highway, my driver banged the car on a person and the person died in hospital. We had surrendered the car at a near by police station and the next day, we surrendered the driver and taken him on bail and took the car also from police station and shown it to the local RTO office. The car was not taken to court. The case is still on.
I have 2 queries in this regard:
1. My family is insisting on selling the car. Am i allowed to sell the car while the case is not closed yet.
2. Will the deceased person's family get insurance money, because the name transfer was done in RC book and not in insurance.
Thanks in advance.
