The reason being....that we in Bombay do not have the mechanism to go after the fine defaulters. Whats the point of issuing a 500 Rs fine, where there is no hope of someone paying it or someone going after them to collect it. I would say, that something should be done where it "hurts" instantly. Many a times the cops would make a bicyclist park his cycle, lock it and keep the keys if they found a defaulting bicyclist. Then the person has to go and pay the fine and get the keys. Something on those terms will work for Bombay I somehow tend to agree with the move.
