Lok Adalat Closed? How Evening Courts Can Still Settle Your Traffic Challan

When Lok Adalat sessions are not active or tokens are unavailable, Delhi Evening Courts are the next best way to clear your Delhi traffic challans without waiting months.

Evening Courts run from 5 PM to 7 PM on all working days and are handled by judges, not traffic police desks.

For regular, compoundable challans, like signal jumping, overspeeding, no PUC, missing documents, or old pending e-challans, the judge usually looks at:

How old the challan is Whether your documents are valid now How many challans are pending overall

Because of this, many routine cases don’t end up paying the full challan amount, even outside the Lok Adalat.

What Evening Courts Do Not Cover

• Drunk driving (DUI) and FIR-linked accident cases Guaranteed discounts similar to large Lok Adalat settlement events
• However, Evening Courts do allow legal closure of eligible challans without repeated court dates or prolonged uncertainty.
• If you go through DigiLawyer, their legal team can appear on your behalf, submit the right documents, and handle the court process properly, so your case is presented clearly, and the judge can consider a fair settlement.
• Upload your challan on WhatsApp or just fill your details on attached form, and our legal team will prepare your case.
