Delhi will introduce weekend courts across all district court complexes starting July 5 to expedite the disposal of pending compoundable traffic challans, providing significant relief to motorists who have been burdened with unresolved notices. The initiative, supported by the Delhi Traffic Police, aims to enhance citizen convenience by allowing individuals to settle their traffic fines without needing to take leave from work.
Weekend Court Schedule and Locations
The special courts will operate every Sunday and on the second Saturday of each month from 10 am to 4 pm. They will be functional at six district court complexes: Patiala House, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Saket, Rohini, and Dwarka. This move is expected to reduce the load on regular courts while offering a hassle-free opportunity for vehicle owners to clear their pending challans during weekends.
Eligible Challans and Limits
Only compoundable traffic challans issued to private and commercial vehicles will be taken up in these weekend courts. However, a maximum of 20 challans per vehicle can be disposed of through this facility. Motorists are advised to check their eligibility in advance to make the most of the new service.
Online Portal for Challan Download
To streamline the process, the Delhi Traffic Police will launch an online portal on June 25, allowing motorists to download their eligible challans. The challans can be accessed through a dedicated website or by scanning a QR code provided by the Traffic Police. This digital step is designed to make the entire procedure smoother and more accessible for vehicle owners.
Impact and Advice
According to officials, the weekend court initiative is expected to significantly reduce the burden on regular courts while providing a convenient avenue for motorists to resolve their traffic challans quickly. The Delhi Traffic Police has urged all motorists with pending compoundable challans to verify their eligibility beforehand and utilize the weekend facility for faster disposal. This move is part of broader efforts to improve traffic enforcement and citizen services in the capital.
