National Lok Adalat in Chamarajanagar courts on July 12
Principal District and Sessions Judge G. Prabhavati said the National Lok Adalat will be held in all courts across Chamarajanagar district on July 12, as per the directions of the State Legal Services Authority. Addressing a press conference in the District Court premises on Tuesday, she said Lok Adalat benches will be set up in the courts of Chamarajanagar, Gundlupet, Yelandur, and Kollegal, with conciliators appointed to settle compromise-suitable cases through mutual agreement. She said the people can make good use of the Lok Adalat at their respective courts. Cases can be resolved through Lok Adalat if parties accept the suggestions given by conciliators. This saves both time and money for litigants and fosters better relationships between parties, she said. Except for Public Interest Litigations (PILs), various types of civil cases – including restoration of conjugal rights, maintenance, child custody, motor vehicle accident claims, industrial disputes, cheque bounce cases, cases under labour laws, electricity theft, illegal stone and sand transportation cases, and other compromise-suitable matters – can be settled in Lok Adalat, she explained. She added that pre-litigation disputes can also be resolved in Lok Adalat through preliminary consultation before being filed in court. The Lok Adalat on July 12 is expected to dispose of more cases than the previous one. In this connection, pre-consultations are underway in every court and District Legal Services Authority. If parties in any pending compromise-suitable case file an application in the respective court for transfer to Lok Adalat, such cases will be referred accordingly, she said. Senior Civil Judge and District Legal Services Authority Member Secretary Eshwar, and Bar Association General Secretary Rangaswamy were present.
