Chandigarh,
10th July, 2017: Third bi-monthly National Lok Adalat
for the year 2017 was held on 08.07.2017 under the patronage of Hon’ble Mr.
Justice J.S. Khehar, Chief Justice of India and the dynamic leadership of
Hon’ble Mr. Justice Dipak Misra, Judge, Supreme Court of India & Executive
Chairman of the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) throughout the
country in all courts at all levels from the Taluk Courts to High Courts in 654
districts and 2267 taluks. More than 7.1 lacs have been
reported to be settled, which include 3.98 lacs pending
and 3.12 lacs pre-litigation cases. The total value of the
settlement amount is 2100 crore. The said disposal would
result into easing the burden of the pending cases as the said disposal in one
day is almost equal to disposal of all the courts throughout the country in
approx. 18 days.
It is evident that the
National Lok Adalat has greatly benefitted the common man and it has been
achieved not only because of Legal Services Authorities/Committees but also
because of cooperation extended by the Judges, Lawyers, Banking and Insurance
companies.
Hon’ble Mr. Justice
Dipak Misra, Judge, Supreme Court of India and Executive Chairman, NALSA took
personal interest and interacted with Executive Chairmen of various State Legal
Services Authorities and it was because of his specific directions regarding
the efforts required for selecting the cases and holding Pre-Lok Adalat
sittings that the said disposal could be achieved.
