The Delhi Traffic Police, in collaboration with the Delhi government, will launch weekend courts starting July 5 to help motorists clear pending compoundable traffic challans without taking time off work. This initiative aims to enhance citizen convenience and expedite the disposal of pending traffic notices.
Weekend Court Schedule and Locations
These special courts will operate every Sunday and on the second Saturday of each month, from 10 am to 4 pm. The weekend courts will be available at six district court complexes: Patiala House, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Saket, Rohini, and Dwarka. Only compoundable traffic challans issued to private and commercial vehicles will be processed, with a limit of 20 challans per vehicle per session.
Online Portal for Challan Download
In addition to the weekend courts, the Delhi Traffic Police will launch an online portal on June 25 for motorists to download their challans. Users can access the portal via a dedicated website or by scanning a QR code provided by the traffic police. This digital facility is intended to reduce the burden on regular courts and offer a hassle-free opportunity for vehicle owners to settle their dues.
Impact on Motorists and Courts
Officials stated that the move would significantly reduce the backlog in regular courts while providing a convenient option for motorists. According to a traffic police spokesperson, “The weekend courts will allow citizens to resolve their challans without disrupting their work schedules, and the online portal will streamline the process further.” Motorists with pending compoundable challans are advised to check their eligibility in advance and utilize the new weekend facility for faster disposal.
