Hello experts,
While I was staying in Telangana , I had TVS Jupiter for 1.8 years after which I sold it back to Dealer from where i purchased it (Kaushik Motors, Karkhana Sec-Bad),given RC as well, as I was going to move to other state. In return they gave a delivery challan . It was in March 2016. I asked is there any thing or type of formality needed to be fulfilled by either party & they said no.
I moved to Punjab in March end 2016.
Then in June 2016, I got a message that a challan is fined for driving without helmet. I spoke to person at Kaushik Motors & informed them i received message for challan, they said that it will be done sooner. 1st it was showing only 1 challan,but when I checked later by month end there were 4 challans all related to driving without helmet ( But I didn't receive any msgs for those). I again spoke to them & they said my vehicle isn't sold yet, I objected strongly & told them to solve this issue & stop using it for their personal usage, they said that within 1 week my name will be cleared from it, but after 3 weeks also it is still showing vehicle on my name only.
Please provide me guidance on this, what legally or Formally I need to have or talk about to these guys ? Can the vehicle be transferred to agency so that in case of anything -agency gets liable & responsible ? Anything I need to do for RTO or such transport authority (otherwise RTO which one & how) What shall I do,as I am living far away from Telangana & can't go there just for that.
I am worried, what if it got misused in dangerous way or any serious accident,it is still showing my name as the owner.
Or shall I be relaxed as I have Delivery Receipt from Agency stating I sold them my vehicle back already ?
Help needed,

As you have a delivery challan so you need not worry the document will prove that you have given back the vehicle to the company. Its now the responsibility of the Company to abide by the law.You can write to the company in the form of E-mail or a registered letter if you are too perturbed you can send a notice through your Advocate in the same lines.As the vehicle has been returned on the date from that day onwards you are not responsible for act of others. You must keep the DELIVERY CHALLAN as documentary evidence with you till the matter is resolved by the company.

Your long description is still deficient about some crucial facts.
What your delivery challan speaks, whether the vehicle was delivered after sale to the dealer or for sale?
