In order to ensure amicable settlement of maximum disputes, Pre-lok adalat sittings and pre-counselling sessions were organized well before the date of National Lok Adalat so that the parties get ample opportunity to engage in dialogue with their opponents to arrive at a consensus to resolve the dispute permanently. Besides, webinars and virtual meetings were also organized to sensitize the stakeholders, officers of Legal Services Institutions, LADCs, Panel Lawyers, PLVs and all those who are related in one way or the other in enhancing the Alternate Dispute Resolution, regarding the importance of LokAdalat and to persuade the parties to take maximum benefit out of it.
As per the information received from various Legal Services Institutions working in different districts of UT of J&K, out of total 1,28,959 cases taken up by 138 Benches in the day long National Lok Adalat across the UT of J&K, 1,22,549cases were amicably settled and disposed off involving an amount of Rs.42,73,80,904 as compensation/settlement amount in cases like Motor Accident Claims, civil, criminal, labour disputes, Electricity and Water Bills, Land Acquisition, Family matters, cheque dishonor and Bank Recovery etc.

So, he urged all the Stakeholders to come forward and take maximum benefit of such initiatives of the NALSA. He also informed that the 3rd National Lok Adalat of the current calendar year shall be held on September 14, 2024 and those litigants who could not get their cases either listed in today's lok adalat or could not settle the same for any reason can avail the opportunity in the next Lok Adalat.
