You stated that your friend bought the bike in your name with finance. then why transfer? Tell him if he does not hand over the bike, you will put a complaint against him.

Simple step is to seek return of the bike. If he has a different version, let him come up with the facts.

Hello Amritangshu Panja, I acknowledge your question. Here since the bike has been registered & taken under the roof of your own documents you can claim the right over the same bike as you have title over the bike by all means. Since your friend isn’t either claiming for title and transferring the same nor handling the bike over to you can file a suit of declaration under section 42 of specific relief act wherein the person who has titles can claim it. There you need not face any legal consequences in future.

I hope I have answered your question.

Have a good day.
