In Karnal, a case of marital dispute occurred in the Lok Adalat.

A conflict arose between a couple who had been married for over ten years, which led to the husband filing for divorce, according to an official press release.

During the initial discussions, it was clear that both were emotionally exhausted. The court encouraged them to reflect on their shared past, their children and the potential for reconciliation. The couple have decided to withdraw their divorce petition, the statement said.

In Faridabad, a vegetable seller appeared in court. He had lost his job due to the injuries sustained in the accident. However, without concrete evidence, his chances of receiving compensation from the insurance company are slim, the statement said.

A crucial role was played by District and Sessions Judge Sandeep Garg, who took the help of an orthopaedic surgeon who immediately assessed the applicant's disability.

After some negotiations and persuasion from the court, the insurance agent relented and agreed to pay Rs 340,000 as compensation, the statement said.
