District and Sessions Judge and chairperson of District Legal Services Authority S. Nagashree has said that a Lok Adalat will be held at all courts in Kalaburagi district on March 9 to help settle long-pending cases through a mutually agreeable compromise process.
Addressing a press conference at ADR Building of the Legal Services Authority here on Tuesday, the judge appealed to parties in long-pending cases to make use of the opportunity to get their cases settled.
“There are over 50,000 cases in the different courts in the district. Pendency has naturally mounted pressure on the courts. We are organising the Lok Adalat to allow parties involved to arrive at a mutually agreeable compromise. This will not only help save time and money of the parties involved but also lessen the burden on courts,” the judge said.
