With due respect, I would like to state some few points of concern. As human beings we all make mistakes intentionally or unintentionally and as busy commuters sometimes we violate rules in the process. As law is meant equal for all, every violator has the duty to pay fine if they do breach the law or violate traffic rules. But many a time even if the violator does his duty by paying the fine their rights to receive challan or receipt is neglected or avoided by the men in uniform authorised to collect fine. If law is meant equal for all then even the violators have some right of concern. For instance, A Violator riding without helmet has the right to pay 'ONLY' 100 rupees and receive challan or receipt for the first offense and for second or following offence the amount of fine may extend to 300 rupees 'ONLY'(Note: Given under Section 177 of the "Motor Vehicle Act"). If the so Traffic Rules that imposes fine and duty on the violator are taken out from the "MOTOR VEHICLE ACT" or this Act is applicable to Dimapur Traffic Regulation then the violator too has the right NOT to pay 500 rupees fine and also the right to receive challan on the payment of 100 rupees fine which is the actual amount of fine for the first offence under the said MOTOR VEHICLE ACT.
Thus, if the violator violates the rules then they have the duty to pay fine and so also the right to receive challan on the payment of such fine for not wearing helmet which may be 100 & 300 rupees, not an alien fine of 500. Anticipating for your concern on the matters.
