Jhansi: The newly formed Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Centre, in the premises of the Lalitpur District Court, was inaugurated along with Kanpur and Mahoba ADRs virtually by Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court, Justice Govind Mathur, on Thursday.
During the inauguration, Justice Mathur said, “That the construction of ADR buildings will enable quick settlement of disputes at the primary level and also speed up the disposal of family and matrimonial matters at the initial stage itself.”
On this occasion, Lalitpur District Judge Mohammad Riyaz inspected the newly built centre along with other judicial officials after the virtual inaugural ceremony.

Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav, Administrative Judge, Lalitpur, said that the ‘Lok Adalat’ is an alternative platform to resolve disputes through settlement and enable women, children, jailed detainees, youth and various poor and deprived persons of society in seeking quick justice. ADR buildings have become an essential facilitator for the courts to provide free legal aid.
Talking to TOI, Judge Dr Sunil Kumar Singh, in-charge Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Lalitpur said the model of the newly created alternative ADR in the premises of District Court will prove to be a boon for the justice seekers. “It will help in reconciling marital, family and commercial disputes which would now be easier to dispose of. As a result people will not have to wait for long for getting justice especially in petty matters which otherwise lingers on for long.”
