After Submitting the Appeal

  • Wait for an official response—typically within 30 days.
  • If rejected without justification, file an RTI application or escalate to higher traffic authority.
  • Do not pay the fine if you plan to contest it. Payment is often treated as admission of guilt.

If your appeal is unjustly denied:

  • Approach the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal or a District Consumer Forum for wrongful penalty.
  • You may also file a complaint with the State Legal Services Authority for free legal help.
  • Consult an advocate if the amount is high or your DL has been suspended due to the challan.
