The Costly Consequence of Ignoring Lok Adalat Orders

The Costly Consequence of Ignoring Lok Adalat Orders

2 min readMohaliMar 12, 2026 10:49 PM IST Taking a stern view in a case related to the cleaning of roadside drains and streets in the city, the Permanent Lok Adalat Mohali ordered the attachment of the official vehicle of the Joint Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation (MC), Mohali. While the decision came earlier, the detailed order was released on Thursday. The matter arose from an execution application filed by city resident Ram Kumar, who alleged that debris removed during the cleaning of drains and sewer lines is not lifted promptly. According to the petitioner, the waste often remains lying on the roads for days and sometimes weeks, causing unhygienic conditions. During rainfall, the same debris flows back into the drains, resulting in frequent blockages. The petition further states that the issue had earlier been raised before the Permanent Lok Adalat in 2014. At that time, an official of the MC had assured the court that regular sanitation and drain cleaning would be ensured in the city. Based on that assurance, the court disposed of …

60% Disabled Staffer Jumps to Death at Saket Court, Colleagues Boycott Lok Adalat

Hours after one of their own died by suicide due to “work pressure” on Friday, a large group of staffers huddled outside the Saket Court, surrounded by police personnel. For nearly two hours, the group waited for their co-workers who had gone inside to represent them and discuss the challenges they face on a daily basis with the Principal District and Sessions Judges. After the meeting, a staffer who was part of the discussions, said, “They (judges) told us that anyone who has a problem can go to them before or after court hours and give their problems in writing.” “But they are reminded of this when one of us dies,” came a response from the crowd, referring to ahlmad (record keeper) Harish Singh Mahar’s death by suicide earlier in the day. In his suicide note, Mahar, who had jumped to his death from the fifth floor of the court building, had cited workload. “I am 60% handicapped… this job is very tough for me and I succumbed to the pressure…,” the note by the …

Aap Ki Adalat: Sudhanshu Trivedi condemns Vijay Shah’s remarks on Sofiya Qureshi, slams Congress

Rajya Sabha member and senior BJP leader joins Rajat Sharma to answer a host of questions about India’s Operation Sindoor and relations with Pakistan at Aap Ki Adalat, exclusively on India TV. New Delhi: Rajya Sabha member and BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi on Saturday lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, describing him with a Hindi idiom, “Tees Maar Khan”.  Responding to queries from Rajat Sharma in the iconic TV show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’, Trivedi said “Tees Maar Khan” is used for those who boasts about their accomplishments, but in reality, it was only a pretension.  He reminded how nearly two years ago, Rahul Gandhi had described USA and UK as ‘defenders of democracy’ and had remarked that they were not interfering in India to ‘save democracy’. Trivedi described Rahul Gandhi’s remark about “India’s foreign policy has failed” as a “vaham” (misconception). He said there have been several precedents when all-party delegations were sent in the past to world capitals to muster support for India.  “In 1995, the then PM PV Narasimha Rao sent Atal …

Aap Ki Adalat: Pakistan is yet to learn lessons from the past, says Arif Mohammad Khan

During the 1965 war, the Pakistani Army chief was dreaming about having tea in Delhi. Our then Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri ji replied that we won’t like to bother Ayub Khan for reaching Delhi; instead, we will reach Lahore to have tea. And we almost did. Later, we withdrew.

I am not saying this. A Pakistani intellectual made this demand. That intellectual said that at least Pakistan could name its missiles after at least three people from Punjab.” Former Indian Air Force (IAF) chief Air Chief Marshal (Retd) RK Bhadauria, who was present as a ‘judge’ on the show, said, “Pakistan does have nuclear capability, but even on minor issues, they start harping about their nuclear capability.
