Senior Judge G J Akarte and Nagpur DLSA Secretary Kishor Jaiswal are the coordinator for the event. They have constituted 93 panels of sitting judges to settle over 45,310 cases.

"Each panel would have a judicial officer, a lawyer and para-legal volunteer or social worker. Even District Bar Association (DBA) is wholeheartedly backing us," Mohod told reporters here yesterday.

 

The Principal Judge had conducted a series of meetings with all the concerned parties including lawyers, finance and insurance companies, Commissioner and District Superintendent of Police, District Collector and others," the trio informed.
