Patiala, December 12

A National Lok Adalat, pertaining to all types of cases, (except non-compoundable criminal cases) will be held in Patiala on Saturday. Officials said benches of judicial courts will be constituted at Patiala, Rajpura, Samana and Nabha.

Rajinder Aggarwal, District and Sessions Judge-cum-Chairman, District Legal Services Authority, Patiala, said the primary objective of the Lok Adalat was to settle disputes amicably through compromise to save time and money of the parties involved and to reduce personal enmity between them.

He said, “When a case is settled in the Lok Adalat, its award becomes final and no appeal can be filed against it.

Moreover, court fees (if any paid), is also refunded to the parties. The parties get speedy disposal of their dispute as per their own terms of mutual settlement.”

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).
