“WISH YOU HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MAKARA SANKRAMANA”

With reference to the subject cited supra, I am directed to bring to your kind
notice that NALSA is desirous to hold National Lok Adalats throughout the country
once in two months in this year and the first such National Lok Adalat is to be
held on 10.02.2018.
I am directed by the Hon’ble Patron-in-Chief and Hon’ble Executive Chairman,
Karnataka State Legal Services Authority to inform the HCLSC, all the DLSAs, TLSCs
and PLAs in the State to hold National Lok Adalats commencing from 10.02.2018 as
per the direction of NALSA.
The following types of cases (pre-litigation and pending) may be taken up for
settlement in the proposed National Lok Adalat:
Pre-litigation
1. NI Act cases under Section 138;
2. Bank Recovery cases;
3. Labour disputes cases:
4. Electricity and Water Bills (excluding non-compoundable)
5. Others (Criminal Compoundable, Matrimonial and other Civil disputes, please
specify)
 -2-

Pending in the Courts (which are reflected on National Judicial Data Grid)
(i) Criminal Compoundable Offence
(ii) NI Act cases under Section 138;
(iii) Bank Recovery cases;
(iv) MACT Cases;
(v) Labour disputes cases;
(vi) Electricity and Water Bills (excluding non-compoundable)
(vii) Matrimonial disputes;
(viii) Land Acquisition cases:
(ix) Service matters relating to pay and allowances and retiral benefits;
(x) Revenue cases (pending in District Courts and High Courts only);
(xi) Other civil cases (rent, easmentary rights, injunction suits, specific
performance suits) etc., (please specify the category)
(xii) Other criminal cases (You are required to specify the category while sending
the statement.)
It is suggested that the task of identifying suitable cases is to be undertaken
in all earnestness, as it would be a fruitless exercise if a large number of cases are
referred for the Lok Adalat and only a few cases actually get settled. Pre-litigation
cases can also be taken up by maintaining proper records. At the same time, care
must be taken to avoid including such cases where disposal at the Lok Adalat will
result in a non-executable decree.
You are requested to identify the cases which are fit for settlement (category
wise) and submit the report on or before 31.01.2018 to this Authority to place the
same before the Hon’ble Patron-in-Chief and Hon’ble Executive Chairman,
Karnataka State Legal Services Authority and to forward the same to NALSA as
directed. Care should be taken in identifying and settling the matters to avoid
frivolous or collusive cases from being taken up.
KSLSA may be informed at regular intervals about the progress in the
preparations, as it will enable us to brief the Hon’ble Patron-in-Chief and Hon’ble
Executive Chairman, KSLSA and to inform NALSA. DLSAs are required to give
necessary instructions to TLSCs in their unit for needful action.

all DLSAs in the State and the Secretaries of

Sir/Madam,
Sub: To organize the National Lok Adalat on 14th April 2018 – reg
Ref: NALSA email F.No.L/34/2017/NALSA dated 08-01-2018.

*****
With reference to the subject cited supra, it is to bring to your notice that
NALSA has directed to hold the next National Lok Adalat on 14th April, 2018 on the
following subject matters.
Pre-Litigation
(i) NI Act cases under Section 138;
(ii) Bank Recovery cases;
(iii) Labour disputes cases;
(iv) Electricity and Water Bills (excluding non-compoundable)
(v) Others (Criminal Compoundable, Matrimonial and other Civil disputes –
please specify)
Pending in the Courts (which are reflected on National Judicial Data Grid)
(i) Criminal Compoundable Offence
(ii) NI Act cases under Section 138;
(iii) Bank Recovery Cases;
(iv) MACT Cases;
(v) Labour disputes cases;
(vi) Electricity and Water Bills (excluding non-compoundable)
(vii) Matrimonial disputes;
(viii) Land Acquisition cases;
(ix) Service matters relating to pay and allowances and retrial benefits;
 (x) Revenue cases (pending in District Courts and High Courts only);
(xi) Other Civil cases (rent, easmentary rights, injunction suits, specific
performance suits) etc. (You are required to specify the category while
sending the statement.)

It is suggested that the task of identifying suitable cases is to be undertaken

in all earnestness, as it would be a fruitless exercise if a large number of cases are
referred for the Lok Adalat and only a few cases actually get settled. Pre-litigation
cases can also be taken up by maintaining proper records. At the same time, care
must be taken to avoid including such cases where disposal at the Lok Adalat will
result in a non-executable decree and also in identifying and settling the matters to
avoid frivolous or collusive cases from being taken up.
KSLSA may be informed at regular intervals about the progress in the
preparations, as it will enable us to brief the Hon’ble Patron-in-Chief and Hon’ble
Executive Chairman, KSLSA and to inform NALSA. DLSAs are required to give
necessary instructions to TLSCs in their unit for needful action.

With regards,

(UMA. M.G.)
Member Secretary.

information and necessary action.
