In the E-Lok Adalat we have taken all the Motor Accident Claim cases which can be settled and then contacted both the parties involved in the case. We asked them to settle their issue amongst them over a voice call, video call or any other means and submit their application for E-Lok Adalat to the DLSA."
The DLSA received many applications for presentation before the E-Lok Adalat, and as many as 250 or more cases will be resolved by the bench of the judges.
DLSO Singh said, "considering the Covid-19 pandemic situation in Indore, the District Judge and Chairman Manish Shrivastav has directed all the presiding officers of judicial bench, advocates, litigants and other participants to follow the social distancing, use of mask and sanitiser and adhere to the directions issued by Hon'ble High Court of MP regarding the same".
