230 cases disposed of at e-Lok Adalat

Chandigarh, December 11

Over 1.38 lakh cases were listed before 360 Benches across the state during the National Lok Adalat (NLA) organised by the Punjab State Legal Services Authority (PULSA).

The hearings by the Benches, constituted for the purpose in all districts and sub-divisions of the state, were held in both — physical and virtual — modes. Amidst apprehensions of another Covid wave with the emergence of Omicron, the Punjab and Haryana High Court Legal Services Committee (HCLSC) also held an e-Lok Adalat, which proved effective with almost 45 per cent of the cases being disposed of. Available information suggests five Benches, presided over by High Court Judges as president, along with senior advocates as member, disposed 230 of 513 listed cases. — TNS
