The event aims to provide justice to all citizens. The chief district judge, Prashant H. Sheth, is overseeing the arrangements.
The Lok Adalat will address various cases that can be resolved amicably. This includes criminal cases, cases related to the Negotiable Instruments Act, vehicle accident cases, and disputes concerning labour, marriage, and family matters.
