Chief Justice's message

Chief Justice Sanjay K Agrawal, patron-in-chief of RSLSA, opened the Lok Adalat in Jodhpur. He urged legal services bodies and lawyers to see it as a chance for public service rather than a formality, DIPR said. Justice Mahendra Kumar Goyal opened the sitting at the Jaipur bench.

Why It Matters: Settling lakhs of cases by compromise in one day eases the load on Rajasthan's courts and gives litigants faster relief.
