The National Lok Adalat held in Bihar successfully settled 400,000 pending cases, providing a swift resolution to the backlog.
Lok Adalats, or people's courts, are a form of alternative dispute resolution in India that aim to settle cases outside the traditional court system.
In a recent National Lok Adalat session held across Bihar, authorities reported that 400,000 pending cases were finally resolved.
The settlement covered a mix of civil, criminal and family disputes, allowing parties to reach mutually acceptable agreements without lengthy litigation.
The move is expected to significantly reduce the backlog of cases in the state’s judiciary and restore public confidence in the legal system.
Officials said the success demonstrates the effectiveness of the Lok Adalat scheme in delivering timely justice.
