National Lok Adalat to be held in West Godavari district on July 5
Speaking at a press meet at the District Legal Services Authority hall on the court premises, the Judge urged litigants to use the Lok Adalat system for the speedy resolution of compoundable cases.
Ms. Sridevi recalled that the first National Lok Adalat of this year was held on March 8, where over 5,000 civil and criminal cases were resolved amicably. For the upcoming session, 4,633 compoundable cases have already been identified — including 1,891 criminal cases, 2,501 civil cases and 241 other cases.
She emphasised that, unlike traditional court rulings, where one party wins and the other loses, settlements reached through Lok Adalat lead to mutual satisfaction for both parties. 'People leave the courtroom smiling when disputes are settled amicably,' she remarked.
District Legal Services Authority secretary K. Ratna Prasad said 34 Benches have been constituted to conduct the Lok Adalat sessions, adding that this would be the second National Lok Adalat of the year, following the one held in March.
Mr. Ratna mentioned that litigants unable to appear in person due to distance can settle their disputes online, making the process even more accessible.
Eluru Bar Association president Kone Seetharam and others were present during the press interaction.

The Indian Constitution framed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is the foundation of all laws in the country and contains both citizens' rights and duties, said M. Eshwar, Senior Civil Judge and member-secretary of District Legal Services Authority, Chamarajanagar. Speaking at the inauguration of the 'Legal Awareness for Students and presentation of State-level Student Ratna Award', on Friday, Mr. Eshwar said that everyone is equal under the law, and individuals should gain legal awareness as it was essential to build a life as a good citizen in society. He said one need not have complete knowledge of it, but developing adequate legal awareness was necessary for daily life. Chamarajanagar University Vice-Chancellor M.R. Gangadhar underlined the importance of cultivating legal awareness, and said it was imperative for the youth. Though it has been 75 years since the country gained independence, discussions revolving around creating legal awareness remains a widely discussed topic, Mr. Gangadhar said. He said incidents of atrocities against women and children continue to occur, and legal awareness was necessary for everyone to address such issues. Students who achieved excellence in various fields were honored with the State level 'Student Ratna Award' and certificates of appreciation.
