Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in India

Hello,

I have a relative who asked to purchase my fathers very old maruti esteem car 2 years ago for reselling. He paid my father 32K and said he will transfer soon. Somehow things kept delaying but my father passed away in May 2013.

Car is now more than 15 years old. He asked me that he will need 8k to get it transferred as it is not profitable for him. My mother gave him money but he disappeared for months and now saying that he gave money to somebody to get papers made but they are nowhere to be found.

Now he himself is not even picking up phone. I understand his intentions are to defraud and cheat but car is still in my father's name.

Can this cause liability? What can I do to fix this? He is not talking and likely will not return the car.

Sal

Dear Sal,

Yes. It appears from your query that both, your agent relative and the car (which is still in your deceased father's name) are missing. Police intimation, intervention and action is advisable and recommended.

Regards,
