DSLSA, a Special Lok Adalat for traffic challans were settled and fine amount collected was Rs.1.88 Crores.

Under the able stewardship and guidance of Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.Kameswar Rao, Judge, High Court of Delhi & Executive Chairperson, DSLSA, and Sh. Rajeev Bansal, Ld. Member Secretary   in all Delhi District Court Complexes was organized by Delhi State Legal Services Authority on 05th April, 2026.

Considering the huge volume of traffic challans, the process itself has to be made easy and transparent for the public as well for the Lok Adalat benches and staff.  The Digital Lok Adalat portal has been a collaborative effort of DSLSA, Government of NCT of Delhi, National Informatics centre and Delhi Traffic Police.

In today’s Special Lok Adalat, Sh. Gurvinder Pal Singh, Ld. Principal District & Sessions Judge, South District Courts Complex; Ms. Nivedita Anil Sharma, Ld. Principal District & Sessions Judge, South East District Courts Complex alongwith Ms. Tanvi Khurana, Ld. Special Secretary, DSLSA supervised overall arrangements for litigants and also visited the Lok Adalat Benches at Saket District Court to observe their functioning. They also interacted with the litigants to know about their cases and difficulties, if any.
During today's Special Lok Adalat, Sh. Abhinav Pandey, Ld. Additional Secretary visited Karkardooma Courts Complex to oversee the arrangements at East, North East and Shahdara; Ms. Bharti Garg, Ld. Secretary (Litigation) visited Rohini Courts Complex to oversee the arrangements at North and North West Districts and Ms. Swati Bhardwaj, Secretary (Legal Aid) visited Tis Hazari Courts Complex to oversee the arrangements at Central and West Districts.  They took a tour of the Court Complexes, interacted with the Judicial Officers presiding over most of the Lok Adalat benches.  They also engaged with litigants to understand their cases and any issues they encountered.
DSLSA expects this initiative to improve the quality of justice delivery services for the citizens of Delhi, by addressing the issue of large pendency of traffic challans as well as delay in updating the status of disposal.
Today’s Special Lok Adalat marked a significant leap in judicial innovation, blending technology with citizen-centric service delivery. Participants widely praised the ease of disposal compared to the long queues usually associated with traditional Lok Adalats, as real-time updates on the Delhi Traffic Police portal and confirmation SMS eliminated the need for any further follow-up. Judicial officers welcomed the initiative for its efficiency, while court staff expressed relief at being freed from the burdensome manual updation that previously stretched over several days and affected their mental well-being. Despite minor technical glitches at the outset, the system proved overwhelmingly successful, demonstrating how digital transformation can make justice more accessible, transparent, and humane. This initiative not only streamlined case resolution but also set a precedent for expanding digital justice mechanisms into other areas of civic administration, offering a replicable model for nationwide adoption.
DSLSA took every care and ensured that there was no overcrowding in any of the court complexes.  All the necessary facilities including provision of Help Desks, Wheel-chairs, ramps, toilet facilities and potable water facility to the people visiting in courts had been made.  Adequate police/security arrangements were also made for a secure and seamless experience.  Special Help Desks were installed at the Entry of each Court Complexes for providing necessary assistance and information relating to the Special Lok Adalats to the people visiting there for amicable resolution of their disputes.
In all seven District Court Complexes of Delhi, total 1,20,742 traffic challans were settled and fine amount collected was Rs.1.88 Crores.
