Under the Motor Vehicles Act, traffic violators are issued e-challans, which are sent directly to their mobile phones, and cases are filed against those who ignore payments, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Pankaj Shirsat said.
Following an appeal by the Thane city transport department, vehicle owners were offered an opportunity to clear the outstanding fines.
The Lok Adalat was held on Saturday, and 11,827 cases were settled and fines of Rs 1.32 crore were collected, the official said.
The drive aimed at resolving long-pending cases against motorists who had failed to pay fines imposed for traffic rule violations.
