Cuttack: Kare Koi, Bhare Koi (Someone else pays for someone else’s mistakes).. A brand new Honda Activa scooter was seized from the vehicle owner by Cuttack Regional Transport Officials after they discovered that the concerned dealer had reportedly delivered the vehicle without registration.

During vehicle checking near Barang area in Cuttack on September 12, the Activa being driven by one Arun Panda, was stopped as it had no registration number. A hefty penalty of Rs 1 lakh was imposed citing that there has been violation on the part of dealer/manufacturer/importer. The officials later seized the vehicle.

According to reports, the Activa registered in the name of one Kabita Panda was purchased on August 28 from Khimji Honda dealership in Bhubaneswar. However, when the vehicle was detained on September 12 during checking, she alleged that the concerned showroom did not provide a registration number.

Based on the allegations, the RTO later sent a notice to the showroom authorities. The RTO officials finally seized the vehicle as they failed to get any response from the showroom.

The owner, Kabita Panda, on the other hand, said she will file a police complaint in this regard.

Kabita Panda said, “The RTO officials issued a Rs 1 lakh challan against the company for delivering the vehicle without registration. Though the Activa was purchased on August 28, I wasn’t provided registration number and my vehicle was seized on September 12. The RTO officials also said that I am not responsible for this. I’ll file a case against Khimji Honda.”

Meanwhile, Cuttack RTO has written to RTO Bhubaneswar-II regarding the delivery of the vehicle without registration. He has requested to take necessary steps and cancel the Trade Certificate of the dealer.
