[Resolved]  Two Wheeler — Spot fine for Helmet not wearing on riding

Sir,
This is Dakshinamurthy, on 28th September, 2009. I was riding my Bajaj Platina Motorcycle bearing registration No.TN20AS 5743 without wearing helmet. This is the first time I was not weared the helmet. Normally, I follow the rules & regulation of traffic and obeyed.

I accept my mistake for not wearing the helmet on riding the motorcycle. On enroute of Maduravoyal Chennai bye bass road the police was caught me and ask for book the case and I agreed to book the case.

The sub-inspector of police is booked the case under section 177 and ask for the fine Rs.100/-, I was under the impresion that the fine would be Rs.100/- for U/s 177. After collecting the police notice copy bearing serial No.3583403 and noticed that the fine for u/s 177 is only Rs.50/-.

When I ask the clarification for the same, I have been told that the fine for Rs.100/- only for this section helment not wearing, that too not mentioned in the details of spot fine. Also, the police said you can claim from court if the spot fine collected is wrong.

Just, I need to know this is correct amount which I paid for spot fine for not wearing the helmet u/s.177. If, correct there is no issue. If, wrong please let me know what is amount for spot fine this section.

Thanks & Regards,
P. Dakshinamurthy.
