The Punjab State Legal Services Authority successfully organized the 2nd National Lok Adalat across the State of Punjab under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Sibal, Judge of the Punjab & Haryana High Court and Executive Chairman of the Punjab State Legal Services Authority.
Providing information in this regard, a spokesperson of the Punjab State Legal Services Authority stated that this mega event was organized under the aegis of the National Legal Services Authority, with the aim of delivering speedy and amicable resolution of disputes to ensure access to justice for all, in line with Article 39-A of the Constitution of India.
He said In comparison to the previous National Lok Adalat held on March 8, 2025, where a total of 4.37 lakh cases were taken up and 3.66 lakh cases were disposed of, this Lok Adalat witnessed a significant increase. A total of 442 Lok Adalat benches were constituted across all districts and sub-divisions, in which 5,40,873 cases were taken up, and 4,81,324 cases were settled. Settlements worth approximately Rs. 442 crore were awarded. This increase in the number of settled cases reflects not only the dedication of the Courts but also the growing acceptance of the ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) mechanism among litigants.
"Thousands of litigants across Punjab were able to resolve their disputes during this Lok Adalat. Several long-pending matters were amicably settled, contributing significantly to the decongestion of court dockets. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from banking institutions, insurance companies, government departments, and the general public." He said.
On this occasion, Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Sibal, Executive Chairman of the Punjab State Legal Services Authority, praised the efforts of judicial officers, District Legal Services Authorities, and volunteers across the state. His Lordship remarked, “Lok Adalats are a testament to the idea that justice should not be delayed or adversarial. It is heartening to see the people of Punjab embrace this collaborative mode of justice delivery.”
The Punjab State Legal Services Authority also expressed its deep gratitude to the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana, all District Legal Services Authorities, the judiciary of the State, bar members, police authorities, and the civil administration for their unwavering support and cooperation.
