National Legal Services Authority (NLSA) will be holding National Lok Adalats on 10 July, at all levels from Apex Court to Taluq Court, for settling all kinds of Civil and Compoundable Criminal Cases. The Telangana State Legal Services Authority is responsible for organizing the same in all the Courts.
Lok Adalat is an alternative dispute redressal mechanism set up to render services free of cost. Even the fees paid in any of the Courts earlier get refunded if the matter stands settled by the Lok Adalat. The only drawback is that the awards passed by Lok Adalat cannot go for appeal.
By this very initiative by NLSA, the general public is requested to grab the benefits of Lok Adalat by settling their disputes on 10 July through virtual and physical hearings.
The people are requested to approach Chairman, Secretary of District Legal Services Authority, Nyaya Soya Sadan in District Court complex of respective Districts, the nearest Mandal Legal Services Committee or the nearest Court through National Lok Adalat on 10 July to settle their disputes.
