Additionally, apart from addressing pending bank suits and commercial disputes, Lok Adalats also provide an opportunity for individuals to settle their traffic challans by paying a nominal fee. If you have a pending challan for violations like driving without a valid licence, insurance, permit, or vehicle fitness certificate. Lok Adalat can resolve these issues by either paying a small fee or, in some cases, completely waiving off the challan. This is applicable to both commercial and private vehicles. To reduce or completely waive off your challan, you must follow a specific procedure to obtain a token for your challan. This token will then be presented to the Lok Adalat for further processing.
