Mr. Singh said that   Lok Adalats plays a key role in the alternative dispute resolution system and  had become popular, which was reflected in the quantum jump in the number of cases received and being settled. However, he also laid emphasis on generating more awareness at the grassroots level

He stated that the National Legal Services Authority had recommended that 19 different types of disputes could be settled in Lok Adalats.They included criminal compoundable cases, transport cases, matrimonial issues, civil cases, bank recovery, debt recovery tribunal cases, revenue cases, cases pertaining to the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, electricity and water bills, sales tax, income tax, Forest Act, railway claims and disaster compensation.

The ultimate objective of the district administration   was to provide speedy justice to aggrieved parties, particularly those from below poverty line families, backward classes, SC and ST groups, at virtually no expense, through amicable settlement of cases, added Mr. Singh.
