RAMBAN: As per NALSA’s annual Calendar of Activities and on the directions of J&K Legal Services Authority, the second National Lok Adalat of the year 2026 was held at District Court Complex Ramban and other subordinate courts today.
The proceedings were conducted under the chairmanship of Chairman District Legal Services Authority (Principal District Sessions Judge) Ajay Kumar Gupta, with the assistance from Secretary DLSA Anjana Rajput. The Chairman inaugurated the Lok Adalat at the District Court Complex. He emphasized the importance of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in ensuring quick and affordable justice.
The Lok Adalat took up motor accident claims, bank recovery cases, matrimonial disputes, labour disputes and compoundable criminal cases. By encouraging dialogue and mutual agreement between parties, the National Lok Adalat provided a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to conventional litigation. Judicial officers, staff from District Legal services Authority, advocates and volunteers worked together to ensure the smooth conduct of proceedings. The initiative reaffirmed the judiciary’s commitment to providing accessible and efficient justice to all citizens.
