Dear Sir / Madam,

Since the Registration Certificate of the car is still in your name, it is quite unlikely that the Supreme Court will defer on the judgement of the Sessions Court asking you to pay the compensation. In my view, you, the person to whom you sold the car and the person in whose possession the car was during the accident should each pay Rs. 3.10 lakhs to the heirs of the victim and close the matter.

Regards,
