Chandigarh, March 16 -- A matrimonial dispute between a husband and wife was amicably settled through mediation during the National Lok Adalat organised by the Haryana State Legal Services Authority (HALSA). The day-long exercise conducted through 177 benches across Haryana on Saturday at various courts took up both pre-litigation and pending cases and disposed of 5.72 lakh cases. It was HALSA's first National Lok Adalat this year, held under the supervision of justice Deepak Sibal of the Punjab and Haryana high court, who is executive chairman of the HALSA. The HALSA stated that the matrimonial case was amicably settled through mediation in the court of Panchkula-based principal judge (family court) Rekha. The couple got married in 2013 and have two daughters. They had approached the family court after marital discord arose due to misunderstandings and communication gaps. "During the mediation process, the parties were engaged in a constructive dialogue and eventually resolved their differences, reaching an amicable settlement in the national Lok Adalat. This case highlights the important role of family courts and mediation in promoting understanding, preserving dignity and ensuring solutions that safeguard the interests of families and children," said the HALSA....
