The main objective of Lok Adalat is to deliver speedy
justice to people, Principal District Judge and Chairman District Legal
Services Authority V. Jayasurya said.
Speaking at the
inaugural of the two-day training programme for lawyers on Lok Adalat
and alternative dispute redressal system organised jointly by the DLSA
and State Legal Services Authority at the Courts Complex here on
Saturday, he urged the legal fraternity to do their bit to speed up the
process of delivering justice.
The primary objective
of the Constitution is to deliver justice to the poor free of cost, he
noted and called upon all the stakeholders of the judicial system to
work with commitment. The two-day training programme for the lawyers
from across the district was taken up by senior advocate R Srinivas Rao.
The
advocates have to clearly explain to the litigants the various aspects
of the alternative dispute redressal system and direct them to the Lok
Adalat only after getting the consent of both the parties, Secretary of
the DLSA and senior civil judge R.V. Nagasundar said.
Metropolitan
Sessions Judge Nandikonda Narasimha Rao, Lok Adalat senior member
H.V.S. Prasanna Kumar, judges and lawyers were present.
