REASI: The National Lok Adalat was organized under the aegis of the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) and the Jammu & Kashmir Legal Services Authority (J&KLSA). The event was held under the leadership of Chairman of the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Reasi, Khalil Choudhary and the guidance of Secretary, DLSA Reasi, Pooja Gupta at the court complex in Reasi as well as at Katra and Mahore.

Three benches were constituted for disposal of cases — one at District Headquarters Reasi, one at Katra and one at Mahore. The Lok Adalat received a good response from litigants, advocates and the general public, reflecting growing confidence in the alternative dispute resolution mechanism.

A total of 65 cases were taken up, comprising pre-litigation and post-litigation matters under the Negotiable Instruments (NI) Act, of which 29 were settled amicably through mutual consent, with a total settlement of ₹12,42,000.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
