The Arunachal Pradesh Lok Adalat concluded 202 pending cases, delivering settlements worth Rs 2.38 crore.
The Lok Adalat in Arunachal Pradesh wrapped up 202 pending civil and commercial disputes in a single session, awarding settlements that total Rs 2.38 crore. The alternative dispute‑resolution mechanism, which operates under the Legal Services Authorities Act, aims to reduce court backlog by offering a faster, less formal process.
Officials said the cases ranged from property and land disagreements to small‑scale financial claims. By resolving them through consensus, the parties avoided prolonged litigation and the associated costs.
The outcome is being hailed as a significant step toward improving access to justice in the remote northeastern state, where conventional courts often face logistical challenges. Authorities plan to hold similar Lok Adalat sittings regularly to clear the remaining docket of unresolved matters.
