Record number of cases disposed of during Lok Adalat in Chamarajanagar, District Judge
More than one lakh cases were disposed of during the recent Lok Adalat in Chamarajanagar district, creating a record, said Principal District and Sessions Judge G. Prabhavati. Ms. Prabhavati, who is also the chairperson of the Chamarajanagar District and Legal Services Authority, told reporters that 1,01,431 cases disposed of during the mega Lok Adalat held across the district on July 12. They included 3,271 court cases and 98,160 pre-litigation cases. Out of the 3,271 court cases, 435 were from Chamarajanagar taluk, 783 from Yelandur taluk, and 1,678 and 375 cases were from Kollegal and Gundlupet taluks respectively. In the pre-litigation cases, 64,908 were from Chamarajanagar taluk, 9,524 from Yelandur, 15,232 from Kollegal, and 8,496 from Gundlupet taluk, totalling 98,160 cases. The amount of money collected through fines and settlements in court cases amounted to ₹7.51 crore, while in pre-litigation cases, the amount totalled ₹8.64 crore. A total of 16.15 crore was collected as fines and settlements during the Lok Adalat, Ms. Prabhavati said. With a record number of cases settled during the Lok Adalat compared to previous Adalats, Ms. Prabhavati complimented the lawyers, litigants, judges, district administration, Zilla Panchayat, Police Department, Tobacco Control unit, bank officials, and various government departments. 'By resolving most pre-litigation cases through the Adalat even before they are filed in court, people's time is saved,' she said, adding that the disposal of cases will also reduce the burden on courts. Meanwhile, four couples were reunited through compromise during the Lok Adalat, she said. Senior Civil Judge and member-secretary of the District Legal Services Authority Eshwara and Chamarajanagar District Bar Association president Nanjaiah were present at the press conference.

National Lok Adalat in Chamarajanagar courts on July 12
Principal District and Sessions Judge G. Prabhavati said the National Lok Adalat will be held in all courts across Chamarajanagar district on July 12, as per the directions of the State Legal Services Authority. Addressing a press conference in the District Court premises on Tuesday, she said Lok Adalat benches will be set up in the courts of Chamarajanagar, Gundlupet, Yelandur, and Kollegal, with conciliators appointed to settle compromise-suitable cases through mutual agreement. She said the people can make good use of the Lok Adalat at their respective courts. Cases can be resolved through Lok Adalat if parties accept the suggestions given by conciliators. This saves both time and money for litigants and fosters better relationships between parties, she said. Except for Public Interest Litigations (PILs), various types of civil cases – including restoration of conjugal rights, maintenance, child custody, motor vehicle accident claims, industrial disputes, cheque bounce cases, cases under labour laws, electricity theft, illegal stone and sand transportation cases, and other compromise-suitable matters – can be settled in Lok Adalat, she explained. She added that pre-litigation disputes can also be resolved in Lok Adalat through preliminary consultation before being filed in court. The Lok Adalat on July 12 is expected to dispose of more cases than the previous one. In this connection, pre-consultations are underway in every court and District Legal Services Authority. If parties in any pending compromise-suitable case file an application in the respective court for transfer to Lok Adalat, such cases will be referred accordingly, she said. Senior Civil Judge and District Legal Services Authority Member Secretary Eshwar, and Bar Association General Secretary Rangaswamy were present.
