Delhi Lok Adalat on October 25 to settle up to two lakh traffic challans across seven courts

Delhi Traffic Police will resolve up to two lakh pending traffic challans during the upcoming National Lok Adalat on 25 October 2026, offering motorists across the capital a fast and accessible route to settle minor road violations.

The initiative covers compoundable traffic challans and notices issued up to 30 June 2026. By transferring these cases to seven district court complexes across New Delhi and Delhi, the administration aims to simplify dispute resolution, lower burden on traditional courtrooms, and provide direct relief to citizens seeking to clear their driving records.

How motorists can book slips online

To ensure a smooth and orderly process, Delhi Traffic Police opened an online booking facility on 19 October at 10:00 am. Motorists must download a designated court slip before attending the Lok Adalat session on 25 October.

The digital process requires vehicle owners to access the official Delhi Traffic Police Lok Adalat portal, enter their vehicle details, and verify their identity through a one-time password sent to their registered mobile number. Once verified, applicants can download and print their notice slips to present before the presiding magistrate.

Downloads are strictly limited to 50,000 per day to prevent system overload and maintain court capacity. The portal will close automatically once the two-lakh quota is exhausted, prompting authorities to advise vehicle owners to obtain their slips without delay.

Participating court complexes across Delhi

Hearings will take place simultaneously across seven district court complexes, providing broad geographic coverage for residents in all parts of the capital.

• Tis Hazari Court
• Patiala House Court
• Karkardooma Court
• Saket Court
• Dwarka Court
• Rohini Court
• Rouse Avenue Court

Motorists must bring their printed challan slip, vehicle documents, and identity proof to the designated court complex on the day of the hearing.

Terms of settlement and fine adjustments

Delhi Traffic Police clarified that attending the Lok Adalat does not guarantee an automatic or complete waiver of penalties. Magistrates will examine each case individually based on the nature of the violation, statutory guidelines, and mitigating circumstances presented by the motorist.

Only compoundable offences are eligible for settlement through this administrative framework. Serious moving violations or non-compoundable offences that require formal judicial trial remain excluded from the Lok Adalat process.

The exercise highlights the government's focus on technology-driven public delivery, enabling thousands of vehicle owners to resolve pending disputes swiftly without navigating protracted legal proceedings.
