Delhi Implements New Traffic Challan Rules Requiring 50% Deposit Before Court Appeal
Delhi is set to implement amended traffic challan rules requiring motorists to deposit at least 50% of the penalty before appealing to court if their challenge is rejected. The process involves first contesting the challan with designated authorities, who can cancel incorrect challans. Supervisory officers will oversee grievance redressal. The enforcement coincides with upgrades to Delhi Traffic Police's e-challan and camera systems, aiming to streamline traffic violation handling.
