MAHESH GROVER, J

The only challenge raised in the present appeal by the appellant is

that he is not liable to satisfy the award as the vehicle was sold to one Sushil

Kumar vide agreement to sell dated 31.12.96 and the vehicle was also

delivered to him. Thereafter, the vehicle was sold to one Smt. Rama Rani,

respondent no.5. According to the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act,

the liablity to satisfy the award has to be of the registered owner which in

the present case is the petitioner.

In this view of the matter, the findings recorded by the Tribunal

cannot be faulted with.

However, the appellant is granted the liberty to realise the amount
FAO No. 1848 of 2006 2

from the respondent no.5 as it has been stated before the Court that she has

taken the vehicle on superdari.

There is no merit in the appeal.

Dismissed.
