The advantages underlying the settlements at the Lok Adalats are obvious, not
only for the victim families but also for the Insurance Companies/Roadways Corporation
and infact for the system. If 10,000 MAC Claims are settled through compromise, nearly
half, about 5,000 appeals are prevented from coming to the High Court.
A letter about this matter was written by me to the Hon'ble Chief Justice, a copy
thereof is enclosed for reference. I had the privilege of meeting the Hon'ble Chief Justice
when he was at Lucknow on July 24, 1995. Amongst other matters, I mentioned about
this proposal and he was pleased to agree that as an experiment this work can be taken up
in some districts.
It is requested that this matter may be placed before the Hon'ble Chief Justice and
he may very kindly give 'green signal' in this respect. The District Judges of the specified
districts may then be advised and directed to do the needful and co - ordinate with us.
Once the 'green signal' is given, we will take up the work in these districts and organise
Lok Adalats in the coming months of the current financial year. We should be able to
ensure requisite co-operation of the Insurance Companies/Roadways Corporation in this
work and I feel reasonably confident that we should be able to achieve commendable
results.

amount to the party concerned.

I am therefore, to request you kindly to take further necessary actions in this
