You may be bound by the resolution unless you make your challenge before higher authorities and the same is quashed.

Well!!! as regard to the levy of fine is concerned it will be based on the bye-laws and the resolutions passed. However,if the Government departnment hs lost your papers you can report this issue to the superior authority and you can also file a writ in the high court demanding compensation for the amount paid.
