Lok adalt useful in speedy trial
In view of the increasing pendency of cases in courts, the only alternative forum to reduce the pendency is Lok Adalats, according to Principal District Judge and Chairman of District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) C.H. Kanakadurga Rao. The Principal District Judge was inaugurating the National Lok Adalat on the premises of district courts here on Saturday.
Addressing the judicial officers and public, Mr. Rao said apart from Lok Adalats, alternative dispute resolution, mediation, conciliation and settlement through Judicial Forums were the other available modes for resolution of cases.
He emphasised the need for approaching Lok Adalats for early disposal of cases. He said the awards passed in Lok Adalat were not appealable and it would save time and money for the litigant public. Litigants can get refund of court fee in the cases settled in Lok Adalats.
The accident victims have to get compensation in the shortest possible time and it is possible only through Lok Adalats. All cases relating to family, property, money, accident, labour and compoundable criminal cases can be settled there.
