Prakash Chand Daga vs Saveta Sharma

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the appellant remained the owner of the vehicle under Section 2(30) and Section 50 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, as the transfer of ownership was not registered within the statutory period. The Court clarified that liability for compensation in a motor accident case lies with the registered owner unless the transfer is duly reported. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's modification of the compensation award, making the Insurance Company liable to pay and allowing it recovery rights against the registered owner.
