I had purchased my vehicle through company lease. Hence tax receipt was in the name of company. After foreclosing company lease the vehicle was transferred to my name. I paid all the expenses incurred while purchasing this car, including life time road tax to my company at that time. Later I relocated to Andhra Pradesh and registered the vehicle in AP after paying life time road tax. NOC was obtained from Bangalore RTO for this purpose.
I requested for road tax refund for my vehicle at this point which was rejected by the RTO (Rejection letter copy attached) by mentioning that only registered owner of the vehicle who has paid life time tax can claim the refund of the tax. I have incurred all the expenses to buy the car and the decision seems to be unfair. I was the RC owner of vehicle before moving the vehicle to Andhra Pradesh. Is there any way to get the money back?

Serve a notice u/s 80 CPC where after file a suit of refund making the company also a party to the suit.
