Cancellation of registration suspended under section 53
AI Assist
Summary
If a vehicle’s registration stays suspended without break for at least six months, the registering authority where the vehicle was when suspension began can cancel the registration if it is the original registering authority. If it is not the original registering authority, it must forward the registration certificate to the original registering authority, which may cancel the registration.
Example
Rohan's scooter had its registration suspended and the suspension continued for six months. If the suspension began in the same office that originally registered the scooter, that office may cancel Rohan's registration. If the suspension happened in a different office, that office must send the registration certificate to the original registering authority, which may then cancel it.
Bare Act
