A petition challenging the legality of issuing e-challans through Chief City cameras has been filed in the Lahore High Court.
The petition was filed by Falak Sher, a citizen, through his lawyer, Advocate Mazhar Ameen Chadhar.
However, the Registrar’s Office has raised an objection regarding the maintainability of the petition.
According to the office, the petitioner did not attach a certified copy of the intra-court appeal filed previously by the Punjab government concerning the e-challan system.
In the petition, Falak Sher named several respondents, including the Punjab government, Home Secretary, and IG Punjab, as well as others involved in the implementation of the e-challan system.
The petitioner argues that the current e-challan system does not grant citizens the right to a fair trial. He claims that issuing fines without providing an opportunity for the affected individual to present their side of the story constitutes a violation of justice and is in direct contradiction with both constitutional rights and the law.
The Lahore High Court is expected to review the maintainability of the petition and determine the next steps in this legal challenge against the e-challan system. The case raises significant questions about citizens’ rights, due process, and the application of technology in administrative justice.
