Illegal towing of vehicle from railway premises
04-Feb-2025 (In Civil Law)
I parked by bike in railway premises where there was no any no parking board and was not obstructing any movement but city traffic police towed my bike and asking to pay penalty for illegal parking.
Please let me know whether the city traffic police have jurisdiction over railway premises or not.
If not then what actions I can take against them
In railway premises, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) has primary jurisdiction over security and parking violations, not city traffic police. However, if your bike was towed by city traffic police, they may have acted beyond their jurisdiction unless there was a specific agreement between the railway authorities and the local traffic department.
You can:
1. Verify the Jurisdiction – Check with railway authorities or RPF if city traffic police are authorized to enforce parking rules on railway premises.
2. Request Legal Justification – Ask the traffic police for the legal basis of their action and obtain a copy of the challan or penalty receipt.
3. File a Complaint – If the towing was unauthorized, file a complaint with the railway authorities or approach the RPF. You can also challenge the penalty before the appropriate legal forum.
