New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI) The Lok Adalat, which was set to be held on Sunday, has been rescheduled to July 30 due to the current flood-like situation in parts of Delhi, police have said.
The flood-like situation in parts of Delhi might pose problems for people in attending the Lok Adalat for settling their notices and challans, the Delhi Traffic Police said on Friday
As a result, the Delhi Legal Services Authority has postponed the Special Lok Adalat, scheduled for Sunday.
"The Special Lok Adalat is rescheduled for July 30 in 170 benches of all seven court complexes -- Dwarka, Karkardooma, Patiala House, Rohini, Rouse Avenue, Saket and Tis Hazari of Delhi -- and will consider only the challans and notices already downloaded on July 12.
