Most of these cases were related to traffic NC (non-cognisable) complaints.
Due to thousands of daily complaints filed by the traffic department, around 50,000 traffic-related cases, including e-challan and penalty matters, are currently pending in this court.
Traffic police file NC complaints in cases such as riding without helmets, not carrying RC books or required documents, and violations of traffic rules, sending these cases to the court for fine collection.
Additionally, e-challan cases that are not settled within 90 days are also transferred to this court, resulting in a continuous rise in case volume.
It is estimated that traffic police on an average files 3,000 NC complaints daily, which adds up to over 75,000 complaints monthly.
With 11,948 cases listed in a single court, a question has emerged on how to manage and dispose of such a huge volume of cases effectively.
Additionally, since this court also handles remand proceedings and other judicial processes for the Maninagar and Rakhiyal police stations, the large volume of traffic cases has directly affected the functioning of these processes.
Moreover, there is only one staff member handling the collection of fines related to traffic NC complaints and e-challans in the court, making it impossible to manage the heavy footfall efficiently.
As a result, people are forced to stand in long queues until late in the evening to pay their fines. Lawyers and parties visiting to pay fines stated that there should be additional traffic courts set up to prevent unnecessary delays for people and to reduce the burden on the court and its staff.
