Siddipet
Cases can be resolved through Lok Adalats without wasting time and resources, said District Judge and District Legal Services Authority Chairman Sudarshan. A Lok Adalat was organised at the District Court in Siddipet under the aegis of the District Legal Services Authority.
Speaking on the occasion, Sudarshan urged litigants involved in civil and criminal cases to come forward for settlement through Lok Adalats. He said amicable settlements could provide a one-time resolution while also strengthening harmony between the two parties.
As part of the Lok Adalat, awareness was created about the Divyangjan Kaushal Vikas and Divyangjan Rojgar Setu programmes. Applications for pensions were received through the Welfare Department, while training and employment opportunities were facilitated through the Rural Development Department and R-SETI.
A special employment initiative was also organised for persons with disabilities through the Employment Department. Interviews were conducted for 175 participants with the support of Samarthanam Trust, ICICI Prudential, Vedas Solution and MedPlus R-SETI, with 30 people being provided employment opportunities. Loan facilities were also facilitated through the Lead Bank.
Sudarshan later inspected the stalls arranged on the court premises. Lok Adalats were also conducted at Dubbaka, Gajwel, Cherial and Husnabad along with the District Court.
Additional Judge Jayaprasad, District Legal Services Authority Secretary Soujanya, Bar Association president Ramesh Babu and advocates participated in the programme.
