Traffic rules in the country are now being taken more strictly than before. From not wearing a helmet to crossing a red light, motorists can be fined for breaking the rules. In such a situation, many people’s old currency remains pending. To settle this, a Lok Adalat is established from time to time, where in some cases there may be an opportunity to reduce the penalty or resolve the dispute.

However, this does not mean that every type of currency is waived in Lok Adalat. Serious offenses and some special cases do not get relief like normal traffic challan. If you too are thinking of settling your old currency, first know in which cases you should not expect relief.

Drunk driving cases

Drunk driving is a serious offense in terms of road safety. In such cases, legal action may be taken and the driver may have to go through the court process. Therefore, treating the drink and drive challan as a normal traffic challan should not be expected to get condoned in the Lok Adalat.

The action to be taken in such a case depends on the circumstances of the case and the applicable law. It is better to get correct information from the concerned court or legal expert.

Cases related to serious road accidents

If a serious accident has occurred with a vehicle and the matter has reached the level of criminal proceedings, it cannot be dealt with as normal currency. In such cases action is taken keeping in mind the aggrieved party, the seriousness of the incident and the legal provisions.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to assume the possibility of remission of penalty by the Lok Adalat in every case related to an accident. It is important to see what kind of case it is and whether it deserves to be heard in Lok Adalat.

Dangerous driving and stunting

Driving dangerously on public roads, endangering the lives of others or performing stunts on the road can be a serious matter. Driving too fast can also lead to prosecution, especially if it endangers the safety of others on the road.

Whether relief will be granted in such cases depends on the nature of the offense and the legal process involved. Not all overpriced currencies are equal.

Vehicles used in criminal activities

If a vehicle has been used in a criminal incident and the case is pending before the police or court, it will be treated differently than a normal traffic challan. Such cases do not end with just going to the Lok Adalat. In this, the status of the respective cases and legal proceedings is important.

In which currency can relief be given?

Some common traffic challans can be settled in Lok Adalat. This may include cases related to driving without a helmet or seat belt, parking a vehicle in a no-parking zone and some other violations. However, there is no guarantee that the penalty will be reduced or the case settled in every case.
