The Punjab and Haryana High Court successfully conducted a National Lok Adalat, resolving a significant number of pending disputes through amicable settlements.

Out of 439 cases listed, a total of 225 cases were settled, providing immediate relief to litigants.

A large proportion of the matters involved Motor Accident Claim petitions, where compensation disputes were resolved through negotiation and mutual agreement.

Through the Lok Adalat proceedings, compensation amounting to ₹9.44 crore was awarded to victims and their families.

Lok Adalats function under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, and are designed to facilitate speedy, cost-effective, and amicable resolution of disputes outside the traditional court process.

Such initiatives help in reducing judicial backlog while ensuring quick justice for affected parties.
