Chittoor: Emphasizing the swift and amicable resolution of legal disputes, District Judge Aruna Sarika urged citizens to leverage the National Lok Adalat to settle cases quickly, free of cost, and in a harmonious environment.
The National Lok Adalat was conducted at the district court and courts across all 13 mandals of Chittoor on Saturday under the aegis of the Supreme Court, NALSA, and the State Legal Services Authority.
Addressing the gathering, Judge Sarika highlighted that settlements reached through Lok Adalats save litigants valuable time and financial resources, noting that the resulting awards are final and carry no provision for further appeal. District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Secretary and Senior Civil Judge MS Bharathi stated that approximately 28,890 cases were identified across the district, with formal notices issued to both contesting parties.
To streamline proceedings, 30 benches were established district-wide—including four at the District Court—alongside a specialized bench dedicated to motor vehicle accident compensation and compoundable civil disputes.
Eligible matters ranging from pre-litigation cases, cheque-bounce disputes, bank loan recoveries, and domestic violence claims to civil suits and maintenance petitions were taken up for compromise. Concluding the programme, District Judge Aruna Sarika distributed financial assistance documents to eligible beneficiaries.
