What Is a Special Evening Court?
A Special Evening Court is a court session held after regular hours so that working people can resolve petty matters like compoundable traffic challans without taking leave. In Delhi, these sessions are organised by the District Courts with the Delhi Traffic Police at major court complexes, and are a popular alternative to waiting for the next Lok Adalat.

Evening Court vs Lok Adalat vs Weekend Court
Evening Courts are best if you have a few challans and want them cleared on a weekday without missing work. If you have many old challans, the National Lok Adalat may give a better settlement; if weekdays are impossible, choose the Weekend Court.
