    Summary of CR-3999-2026 The Punjab & Haryana High Court dismissed the revision petition filed by the registered vehicle owner, Prem Chand, who claimed he sold the vehicle to Rajesh Kumar via Power of Attorney (25.09.2019) and was therefore not liable for accident compensation. The court upheld the lower tribunal's decision, holding that under Section 2(30) of the Motor Vehicles Act, the registered owner remains liable for third-party compensation regardless of actual transfer, as long as the vehicle remains registered in their name. The underlying principle protects accident victims from uncertainty by holding the registered owner accountable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
