The last Delhi Lok Adalat 2025, which was scheduled to be organised on December 13, 2025, has been rescheduled for January 10, 2026, states the notification released by Delhi State Legal Service Authority (DLSA). The announcement was made by the DLSA on November 27, 2025. The vehicle owners who were looking forward to getting their Delhi traffic challan waiver or settling them at a negotiable rate have to wait for some time.
Why is the National Lok Adalat Held?
National Lok Adalat refers to the ‘People’s court’ that is held 4 times a year to settle long-standing cases of individuals. It includes several types of cases, including compoundable traffic challan cases.
The major objective of the National Lok Adalat 2025 is:
- To clear the backlog of pending cases.
- Improve the revenue collection.
- Helps people settle violation tickets, say Delhi traffic challan at reduced rates, with discounts ranging from 50% - 100% (in some states).
Why is the Delhi Traffic National Lok Adalat Postponed?
The recent notification by the Delhi State Legal Service Authority (DLSA) clearly mentions that the last Lok Adalat 2025 has been postponed and is rescheduled to be held on January 10, 2026.
This big decision has created a buzz among the Delhittes, especially the ones having their eyes on the Lok Adalat token. But the question is, why the delay?
The notification released by the Ld. Registrar General, High Court of Delhi, New Delhi, reads that December 13, 2025 (when the Lok Adalat was expected to happen earlier) will be a Court sitting day for the Courts subordinate to the High Court of Delhi, pertaining to which the last Lok Adalat 2025 Delhi will now be conducted on January 10, 2026.
The change is for Delhi only, which means Lok Adalat Gurgaon and in other states will be held on December 13, 2025.
Where will the Lok Adalat 2025 be held?
After announcing the shift in the changes of the upcoming Delhi Lok Adalat 2025, from December 13, 2025, to January 10, 2026 (the second Saturday), the notification also reads the locations where the litigants and the vehicle owners are expected to arrive with their Lok Adalat token on the rescheduled date.
NOTE: At District court complexes, all types of civil and compoundable cases will be settled except ‘Divorce’ cases.
Know Which Delhi Traffic Police Challans are Eligible?
Preparing to settle Delhi traffic challans at the National Lok Adalat? - Great, but before heading ahead for Lok Adalat registration, check the eligibility of the violation ticket.
The following traffic cases will be taken into consideration:
- Driving without a seatbelt
- Riding without a helmet
- Disobeying traffic signals
- Overspeeding
- Wrong parking
- Driving without a valid PUCC or vehicle fitness certificate
- Driving without a DL
- Missing number plate
- Wrongly issued traffic challans
Precisely, the minor traffic violations will be heard and settled at the upcoming Lok Adalat. The major traffic violation that involves injury or death of a person doesn’t fall under the eligibility criteria.
The other cases that don’t qualify for the Delhi Lok Adalat token registration are hit-and-run cases, driving under the influence, dangerous driving, etc.
NOTE: The details have been provided in the context of the E-Challan.
