Efficient judicial processes are essential for maintaining public trust and reducing the economic burden of prolonged litigation on citizens.
Nearly 38,412 cases were settled, with compensation amount exceeding ₹2.65 crore, in a single-day sitting during the National Lok Adalat (NLA) in SPSR Nellore district. District Principal Judge G. Srinivas, along with Collector Himanshu Shukla, Municipal Commissioner Y.O. Nandan, Additional Superintendent of Police (SP) Ch. Sowjanya, attended the programme in Nellore on Saturday.
On the occasion, Mr. Srinivas said, “Resolving disputes through compromise not only saves time and money but also ensures speedy justice.
