New Delhi: The program was organized on the completion of 75 years of the establishment of the Supreme Court. During this, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal as well as Chief Justice DY Chandrachud (CJI Chandrachud) were also present. Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said that all types of matters were settled in the Lok Adalat held from July 29 to August 3. He praised this initiative of the Supreme Court.
Arjun Ram Meghwal further said, ‘The first Lok Adalat in this country was set up by Lord Krishna. When Duryodhan did not accept his proposal, a problem arose. Then Dinkar Saheb wrote that if you give justice, then give half, if you give justice, then give half, but, if there is any problem in that too, then give only five grams, keep your entire land!’

The Law Minister further said, “When Duryodhan could not give even that, Krishna said – When destruction looms over man, his conscience dies first. Lok Adalats do the work of awakening conscience. Chief Justice sahab told me that more than 1000 cases have been settled in these Lok Adalats. That means there is something in the Supreme Court that our existence does not fade away.”
CJI was praised a lot
He further said that ‘To do this work, one needs to have a different behaviour. The most successful person in the world is the one who knows how to mend the broken and pacify the angry. CJI sahab has done a great job. I congratulate all those who participated in providing quick justice to the people through Lok Adalat.’
