Reported on May 9, 2014 from Noida , Uttar Pradesh  ι Report #40889

I violated Traffic rules in Noida 2 times in the past 2-3 months. Since those were done accidentally, i was ready to pay the legal fine for the same.

However, each time i was told that the challan can only be paid @ Court or if i don't want to go to the court then it can be "Settled" here only. When i registered my protest by saying that i want to pay full challan here only, the police person started mis-behaving with me & even increased the "BRIBE AMOUNT".

I want to ask, whether there is any rule that says "Challan can only be paid in court, even if i have money at that time"

I suppose, NO, this is just a new way of accepting bribe & forcing the guilty to pay bribe for the fear of spoiling 1 day & going to the court just to submit a fine that could have been submitted legally on the spot.

I want clarification on the same & suggestion on how such situations can be handled in future? Because as experienced by me, a common man cannot register his complaint against a police person, even if he does, he has to pay the price eventually. Really sorry to say this but we are living in a system where right cannot go against the wrong!!!!!
