Gurugram : The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Gurugram, will hold a Special Lok Adalat on November 21, 2026, at Vikas Sadan in the District Courts Complex, Gurugram. The event follows guidelines from the Haryana State Legal Services Authority, Panchkula.
It is being organised under the guidance of Narender Sura, District and Sessions Judge and Chairman of the DLSA. The Lok Adalat will take up pending cases under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (NI Act), which deals with the dishonour of cheques.
Aim of the Lok Adalat
Nisha, Chief Judicial Magistrate and Secretary of the DLSA, said the Special Lok Adalat is meant to settle pending Section 138 cases quickly through mutual consent. This will reduce the number of cases pending in courts and save the time and money of the parties.
She explained that a Lok Adalat is an effective way of resolving disputes by agreement. Both sides can settle their dispute in a cordial atmosphere. An award passed in a Lok Adalat is final and binding on both parties.
Appeal to parties and lawyers
The DLSA has urged the parties concerned and advocates to take part in large numbers and settle their pending cases through mutual compromise. No additional court fee will be charged for settling cases at the Lok Adalat.
