Respected experts,
Bogus traffic challans ( so called e challans) are increasing. One doesn't know anything about the offence till one receives the challan(s) through sms. These are done basically by cops in another districts to fulfill the targets given. The cops must obtain signature about the offence on the spot before issuing challans. This can't be ex parte. Could you please advise on legal steps on this.

The traffic challans are generated for violation of the traffic rules which are found through the surveillance camera, hence it can be verified through the CCTV footage
No fraud can take place as alleged by you.

Verify the challan from the agency which generated it.

If you doubt that traffic challan is forged then don't pay the fine and challenge / contest it by submitting relevant documents and proofs before concerned Magistrate.

Yes the matter could be contested on merits. But would certainly involve much money and time.
