A total of 12,940 cases with settlement amount of Rs 1.76 crore were disposed of at district court in Panchkula during a National Lok Adalat on Saturday.

Ajay Kumar Ghanghas, Chief Judicial Magistrate and Secretary, District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Panchkula, said the National Lok Adalat was held under the guidance of VP Sirohi, District and Sessions Judge. Six benches were constituted at the District Courts and one bench at the Subdivision Courts, Kalka.

Sirohi said the benches took up cases from various categories, including civil disputes, criminal compoundable cases, family disputes, traffic challans and cheque bounce, under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, and other matters.

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).
