The National Lok Adalat in Himachal Pradesh witnessed the resolution of 53,789 cases out of 1,02,783 cases taken up across various courts in the state. The event was held under the guidance of Justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan, Acting Chief Justice of the Himachal Pradesh High Court and Executive Chairman of the Himachal Pradesh State Legal Services Authority. The settlements during the Lok Adalat resulted in a monetary award of over Rs 91.74 crore. Special facilities were also provided to the public, such as the online payment of compounding fees for Motor Vehicle (MV) challans through the ePay system under the e-Courts Digital Payment initiative, especially in courts of Traffic Magistrates. Efforts were made to ensure widespread awareness about the Lok Adalat through SMS alerts, jingles, and the distribution of informational material. Local bodies, NGOs, Panchayati Raj representatives, Para Legal Volunteers, and public transport services collaborated in these awareness initiatives, enabling a significant number of litigants to benefit from the event. The National Lok Adalat continues to play a pivotal role in reducing the pendency of cases while ensuring swift and cost-effective justice for the people of Himachal Pradesh.
