Convictions in such petty offences, on pleading guilty, does not amount to adverse criminal antecedent.

Your Railway JE job selection is not in danger. Because the case was a traffic offense resolved through a fine without jail time, it does not involve moral turpitude and will not automatically disqualify you. However, your joining depends entirely on complete and truthful disclosure on your attestation form.
In landmark rulings like Avtar Singh v. Union of India (2016), the Supreme Court held that conviction or payment of a fine in minor/petty offenses should not ordinarily bar a candidate from government employment. The appointing authority holds the discretion to accept candidates with settled petty traffic convictions.

Very well explained, opined and advised by learned experts, I endorse it.
The fine imposed shall not be affecting your job profile.
