Lok Adalat settles Rs.2000 traffic fine for just Rs.200.

AkhandIndia (New Delhi). Traffic violations are a serious problem in India. Every year, millions of people become victims of accidents due to traffic violations. These accidents also become the cause of death for many people. When caught for traffic violations, traffic police issue a challan. A challan means you have to pay a certain amount as a penalty. The amount of the challan is determined based on the severity of the violation, and this is done by the government.

Most Common Traffic Violations in India

Some of the most common traffic violations in India include overspeeding, jumping red lights, driving in the wrong direction, using a mobile phone while driving, driving under the influence of alcohol, not wearing a seat belt in a car, and not wearing a helmet on a bike, among others. However, if you have been issued a challan for violating any traffic rule, you can get it reduced. This is because the National Lok Adalat is going to be held on September 9.

What is Lok Adalat?

Many people may not have heard about the National Lok Adalat. It is organized to provide immediate resolution to pending cases. Lok Adalats are held from time to time across the country. The Lok Adalat on September 9 will allow you to get your challan waived off or reduce the penalty amount.

In other words, you can get your challan waived off or reduce the penalty amount. Let’s say you have a Rs. 2000 challan for overspeeding and you want it to be waived off or the penalty amount to be reduced. Both of these can be done in the Lok Adalat. It is possible that your challan may be cancelled or reduced to Rs. 200. However, for this, you will need to register online and book a slot.
