Gujarat launches virtual court for e-challan disputes

Ahmedabad: A virtual traffic court was made operational from Wednesday to spare traffic offenders of compoundable offences from appearing before courts physically and to make it easy to pay e-challans. The Gujarat HC made the e-traffic court functional to eliminate need for litigants to appear in court in person. This allows court users and vehicle owners to complete proceedings online. Ahmedabad, Surat and Rajkot have been integrated with the e-court for now. The e-traffic court comes into play if a vehicle owner doesn’t pay an e-challan for 90 days. If any e-challan remains unpaid for 90 days, the e-challan will automatically be transmitted to the servers of the virtual traffic court. p 2
