The petitioner contends that he has been issued with Challans for parking his two wheeler when there was no signboards against parking at such place. The respondent has filed its statement of objections. It is stated, on behalf of the respondents [as part of the statement of objections] upon receipt of the petitioner's objections the personnel of the Devanahalli Traffic Police Station have gone through the records and it is verified that the petitioner had parked his vehicle on Reva College Main Road and this constitutes violation of Regulation 15(2) of the - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:14236 WP No. 30030 of 2024 Road Regulations, 1989. The respondent has also contended that if the petitioner is aggrieved, he must contest the challans before the jurisdictional Traffic Police. This Court finds merit in this contention, and hence, the petition stands rejected subject to all just exceptions. SD/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE AN* List No.: 1 Sl No.: 14
