168 got legal aid in first quarter, says Judge

Mohali, May 6

A total of 168 persons were provided legal aid during the first three months of this year and awareness was being created among the general public to take free legal aid. Lok Adalat to be held on July 10 would probably be set up as an e-Lok Adalat keeping in view the situation arising out of the pandemic.

Additional District and Sessions Judge Sandeep Kumar Singla stated this during the quarterly meeting of the district legal services authority held today.

He said the Lok Adalat to be held on July 10 would probably be set up as an e-Lok Adalat keeping in view the situation arising out of the pandemic. He said a link to each court in this regard would be provided one day in advance.

Singla directed the authorities concerned to organise special webinars to make investigating officers aware of the Victim Compensation Scheme so that they could further make the public aware of this scheme. — TNS
