Delhi National Lok Adalat on Jan 10, 2026 for traffic challans. Online registration, eligibility, documents, and court list for compoundable fines.

Vehicle owners in Delhi will get a rare opportunity to resolve pending minor traffic fines in a single day, as the National Lok Adalat is scheduled to take place across the capital’s district courts on Saturday, January 10, 2026. This initiative aims to provide a fast-track alternative for motorists burdened with compoundable e-challans, avoiding lengthy court procedures.

According to the Delhi Traffic Police, the Lok Adalat benches will typically consist of a judicial officer and a representative from the Legal Services Authority. Eligible cases will be heard and resolved in a single sitting, helping decongest the courts and deliver quicker justice for minor traffic violations.

Eligibility Criteria: Which Challans Can Be Settled

The scheme is limited to compoundable traffic challans that are pending on the Delhi Traffic Police portal and forwarded to the Virtual Court up to September 30, 2025.

• Over-speeding

• Jumping red lights

• Wrong parking

• Driving without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate

• Ignoring traffic signs

• Incorrectly issued challans

Certain cases may allow driving without a licence to be considered, but only in limited situations.

Ineligible offences include:

Broader Scope of National Lok Adalat

While the primary focus is on traffic challans, the National Lok Adalat will also settle a variety of civil disputes, including family and property matters, under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. This mechanism prioritises consensual resolution, enabling final closure of cases on the same day without repeated adjournments.
