The signal and island in middle of road having no proper directions

Reported on June 17, 2015 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #62035

Traffic cop standing at junction on Pedder road, where the islad in middle of road near signal. He told me that my offence is I should have come from left of island. I went back looked at road there were no instructions / directions of such type.
I: told him ok, I will pay penalty.
Cop; you will ask for receipt
I: Yes
Cop: I do not have receipt book
I: then what to do?
cop: I will deposit license and come back to chokie tomorrow and collect
I: I said I live so far, coming here will take one full working day. You ask nearby and call for receipt. Getting leave from work is very difficult
cop: No. I only way is to deposit license.
After some more conversation...
I paid him Rs. 200 (which is double then the normal fine). He took happyly and returned my License.

I don't know what is the rule if cop says he dose not have receipt book. Do we have right to refuse to pay fine?
