Traffic Defense – Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ignoring E-Challans

Pending challans do not expire. They are eventually transferred to regular courts, to summons and warrants against the vehicle owner.

Delaying Release (Superdari)

Leaving your vehicle in police custody for days invites damage, theft of parts, and battery failure. File for release immediately.

Blindly Paying Fines

Paying a fine is an admission of guilt. This record can be used to increase insurance premiums or deny claims in future accidents.

Driving While Suspended

If your license is suspended, driving any vehicle is a serious offense inviting mandatory imprisonment. Respect the suspension order.

Arguing at the Spot

Never get into a heated argument with traffic police. It can lead to obstruction charges (Sec 132 BNS / 353 IPC). Accept the challan and contest it in court.

Missing Court Dates

If you receive a summons, failing to appear will result in a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) and potential arrest.

Common Queries

Frequently Asked
Questions

Q.How do I pay my E-Challan in Court?
You don't always need to visit the court. We handle E-Challans through the Virtual Courts system which allows for online disposal. We can often get the fine reduced or contested online without your physical presence.
Q.My vehicle was seized. When will I get it back?
Police officers cannot release a seized vehicle on their own. You need a 'Superdari' order from the Magistrate. We file this application immediately, and typically, the release order is granted within 2-4 days.
Q.Is jail mandatory for Drunk Driving?
Under Section 185 MV Act, imprisonment is possible but not automatic for a first offense. We strive to secure a fine-only penalty. However, repeat offenses usually attract stricter punishments, including potential jail time.
Q.Can I get my suspended license back?
Yes. A license suspension by the RTO can be appealed before the Appellate Authority. We can argue for a reduction of the suspension period or its complete revocation based on procedural errors in the seizure.
Q.I received a wrong challan (not my car).
This is common due to ANPR (Number Plate Reading) errors. We verify the timestamp and challenge the evidence in the Virtual Court to get the challan quashed (cancelled) completely so it doesn't reflect on your vehicle history.
Q.What documents are needed for Vehicle Release?
You typically need the Original RC, Valid Insurance, PUC (Pollution Certificate), Driving License, and an Indemnity Bond (Supurdginama). If any document is missing or expired, we can assist in legal alternatives to still secure release.
