BSES settles over 2k cases in Lok Adalat

Power major BSES settled over 2,000 cases of theft over the weekend in a Lok Adalat, surpassing previous records witnessed during similar initiatives in the past.
A joint initiative of BRPL (BSES Rajdhani) and Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA), the drive organised at the Saket District Court premises settled a total of 2,135 cases with corresponding monetary value of over Rs 20 crore.
The discom offered on-the-spot settlement for its customers in both Direct Theft and Meter Tampering cases, besides taking up cases where the customers had already moved the Court.
"For the customers, it meant an opportunity to amicably settle their cases and an escape from a prolonged and an expensive legal process. For an over worked judiciary, it meant some burden off their Courts," a BSES spokesperson said.

The two-day 'paperless drive' also managed save 30,000 A4 size sheets, the official said.
