Mohali, July 5

For amicable settlement of pending cases in various courts, the quarterly National Lok Adalat will be held in the district on July 10.

Rajinder Singh Rai, District and Sessions Judge-cum-Chairman, District Legal Services Authority, Mohali, held a meeting with civil and judicial officials today.

He said a wide array of cases were to be taken up in the upcoming National Lok Adalat for settlement through compromise between the parties.

The Lok Adalat will be organised virtually as well as physically for the ease of people and the Benches will be constituted in Mohali, Kharar and Dera Bassi sub-divisions.

Apart from the cases pending in the courts, pre-litigation cases will also be taken up in the Lok Adalat.

Rajinder Singh said the major benefits of the Lok Adalat were that the court fee paid by the litigant was refundable and the decision passed by the Lok Adalat was final and binding upon the parties. He made an appeal that the litigants should avail maximum benefit of the time and money-saving Lok Adalats.
