Chandigarh, December 11

Over 1.38 lakh cases were listed before 360 Benches across the state during the National Lok Adalat (NLA) organised by the Punjab State Legal Services Authority (PULSA).

The hearings by the Benches, constituted for the purpose in all districts and sub-divisions of the state, were held in both — physical and virtual — modes. Amidst apprehensions of another Covid wave with the emergence of Omicron, the Punjab and Haryana High Court Legal Services Committee (HCLSC) also held an e-Lok Adalat, which proved effective with almost 45 per cent of the cases being disposed of. Available information suggests five Benches, presided over by High Court Judges as president, along with senior advocates as member, disposed 230 of 513 listed cases. — TNS

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).
