The National Lok Adalat is a pan-India legal settlement drive held at regular intervals. It brings together litigants, lawyers, judges, and disputing parties to arrive at a mutually agreed resolution without the need for lengthy trials.
The next National Lok Adalat will be held on September 13, 2025. This initiative provides vehicle owners an excellent opportunity to settle their pending traffic challans at significantly reduced rates. The slot booking for the Lok Adalat commenced on September 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM. (File Photo)
