The National Lok Adalat in Delhi has been postponed from September 12 to October 10, while eligible traffic violators will be able to download challan slips from the Delhi Traffic Police website starting October 5, according to a notification issued by the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA).
The postponement follows a Delhi High Court notification declaring September 12, the second Saturday of the month, as a court sitting day. The Lok Adalat will now be held across Delhi’s district court complexes, including Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Patiala House, Rohini, Saket, Dwarka and Rouse Avenue.
Proceedings will also take place at the Delhi High Court, Debt Recovery Tribunals, Permanent Lok Adalats and consumer dispute redressal commissions. The forum is intended to facilitate the amicable settlement of civil and criminal compoundable cases.
DSLSA has advised litigants and other parties to approach the concerned court, forum or tribunal at the earliest to have their cases listed. For pre-litigation matters, applications may be submitted to the office of the member secretary at least seven days before the Lok Adalat.
A separate process will apply to traffic cases. Compoundable traffic challans pending on the virtual court portal up to June 30, 2026, will be taken up during the Lok Adalat. Challan slips for eligible cases can be downloaded from the Delhi Traffic Police website from 10am on October 5.
The online downloading facility will be subject to a daily cap of 50,000 challans and an overall limit of two lakh challans. DSLSA has asked courts, forums, tribunals and other stakeholders to inform litigants and parties about the revised schedule and arrangements.
