Special Lok Adalat Week, 2024- A Stellar Beginning!
Live LawThe recently concluded Special Lok Adalat Week in the Supreme Court from 29th July, 2024 to 2nd August, 2024 has been a grand success on so many different parameters. As indicated by Mr. Atul Kurhekar, Secretary General of the Court in the commemoration function on 3rd August, the Lok Adalat was the brainchild of the Chief Justice of India and work was initiated on it in April, 2024 by the Supreme Court in co-ordination with all the High Courts and District Legal Service Authorities. As one of many members of the bar, who was invited to be part of the lok adalat panels, I could immediately notice the remarkable amount of effort that would gone into by the various District Legal Services Authorities in trying to get parties to settle in disputes some of which were complex. As any practicing advocate in the Supreme Court will vouch, in large number of cases of individual litigants, by the time the matter reaches the Supreme Court, the litigants have mostly exhausted their financial resources, having incurred substantial legal fees at two earlier stages, i.e.- the trial court and the high court.
