District Judge Ashok Kumar and Dr Suresh Kumar, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Gautam Buddha Nagar, along with Additional Chief Secretary Home Avneesh Awasthi were also present on the occasion of the inauguration of the virtual court.




Now, Noida residents will not have to go to court to pay the challan. Traffic challan and the payment of fine can be completed through the web portal vcourts.gov.in. This online e-challan system will further assist in the case of repeat offenders as at the time of filling the challan, the data of the violators will be already in the system. Noida residents will have to file e-challan within 90 days.


In May 2020, Supreme Court Judge Justice D.Y. Chandrachud had inaugurated two virtual courts in Delhi for online settling of challans for traffic violations.
