Call it the magic of information technology or fruits of concerted efforts of National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam will open Lok Adalats in the Supreme Court on Saturday. He will simultaneously make functional Lok Adalats in high courts and lower courts across the country.
Around 19 lakh cases are listed for settlement in all the courts, from SC to lower courts, with the consent of litigants. NALSA hopes to bring a permanent end to disputes through mutually acceptable friendly and inexpensive reconciliation process. The inauguration of Lok Adalat at Supreme Court by
the CJI in the presence of NALSA executive chairman Justice G S Singhvi and SC Legal Services Committee chairman Justice A K Patnaik will be “viewed all over the country through video conferencing and web casting facilities by the SC’s e- committee,” NALSA said.
“Lakhs of cases have been identified and referred to the National Lok Adalat and a few lakh cases are expected to be finally disposed of. Once a case is disposed of through Lok Adalat, there will be no further appeal against the settlement,” it said. “The National Lok Adalat aims at reducing pendency in courts while at the same time drawing the attention of public to the efficacious alternative dispute resolution method of Lok Adalat,” NALSA said.
The cases listed for settlement on Saturday are mainly compoundable criminal offices, cheque bouncing and loan recovery cases, civil suits, motor accident claims and family disputes. The SC will take up 107 such cases on Saturday.
