Advocates stage protest inside CJM court over online traffic challan system

As per existing rules, traffic challans pending for more than three months are required to be transferred automatically to the court for settlement. However, this process has not been functioning, resulting in pending challans remaining stuck online without any judicial remedy.

Frustrated by the growing backlog and lack of clarity, the group of lawyers reached the CJM’s courtroom in the afternoon seeking an immediate resolution. When no satisfactory response was provided, the advocates sat on a protest inside the courtroom for nearly half an hour.

Following the agitation, the CJM along with the executive staff assured the protesting advocates that the matter would be resolved within two days after consultation with the Sessions Judge, who is currently on leave.

Meanwhile, the advocates have warned that if the issue remains unaddressed, they will resume their protest inside the courtroom.

Advocate Puneet Chhabra said, “We protested only to ensure that the system works for everyone, not against them. We will not stay silent when a faulty process causes hardship to thousands.”

The legal fraternity has urged the administration to restore a smooth and accessible traffic challan redressal system, stating that an online-only model without a functional court-transfer mechanism leaves citizens with no effective remedy
