Mysore/Mysuru: The National Lok Adalat, the first one this year, that was held yesterday, broke a record of sorts by resolving a 53-year-old property dispute. In all, the Adalat settled 55,133 cases through mutual settlement and arbitration.
Speaking to reporters at the new Court complex in Malalavadi, Principal District and Sessions Judge M. L. Raghunath said that the case was filed in 1969 related to sharing a prime property located on Sayyaji Rao Road in the heart of the city. It had 40 parties and was represented by a total of 10 lawyers.
As the family members were not agreeing for a compromise, the case dragged on for 53 years. Now the case was being fought by the third generation of the family.
One party in the case, who was undergoing treatment in a hospital, participated in the proceedings through video-conferencing wearing an oxygen mask, and even spoke to National Legal Services Authority Chairperson Justice U. T. Lalit.
Other family members too participated in the proceedings through video-conferencing from Chennai, Mumbai and even from abroad. GPAs and affidavits were procured from the parties who could not be physically present during the Lok Adalat and the case was settled.
Member-Secretary of Mysuru District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Devaraj Bhute described the case as a special one and the Lok Adalat was successful in settling the case. During the hearing, the warring family was convinced by the judges to settle the case in the interest of family cordiality and peace.
