Delhi Tribunal Highlights Illegal Transfers of Gramin Sewa Vehicles and Calls for Policy Action

A Delhi Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) highlighted illegal transfers of Gramin Sewa commercial vehicles without updating ownership records, violating Section 50 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The court noted a vehicle involved in an accident changed hands multiple times without registration updates and was uninsured. It criticized administrative lapses and lack of coordination between Delhi Police and State Transport Authority, urging policy measures to address these loopholes and ensure compliance.
