Chandigarh, August 13

As many as 2,514 cases were disposed of at the National Lok Adalat held at the District Courts Complex in Sector 43 here today.

Fifteen Benches, headed by serving judicial officers, were constituted for settling various cases.

While 26 criminal compoundable cases were disposed of at the Lok Adalat, 1,165 cases under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 33 cases under the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, 65 matrimonial/family disputes, 163 civil suits and rent cases and 673 traffic challans among others were settled too.

Besides, 2,111 cases involving an amount of Rs 34,47,476 were disposed of by the Permanent Lok Adalat (Public Utility Services).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
