Virtual court portal for payment of traffic challans launched

Traffic challans in Delhi can now be paid online with the launch of virtual court portal on Friday. Launched by former Supreme Court judge, Justice (retd.) Madan B Lokur, the first such legal portal — https://vcourts.Gov.In — will cater to the traffic challans digitally generated by the Delhi Traffic Police via the e-challan application.

Traffic offenders will be given the option to pay the fine online, without coming to the court, said Justice Lokur, adding, “The service may later extend to other cases.”

“If a person is given challan and has pleaded guilty, there is now e-payment portal so it can be paid online and it will work 24×7,” he said further.

He hoped that other courts in the country will realise its importance and follow it.
