The District legal Services Authority (DlSA), with the directions of Jharkhand legal Services Authority (JHAlSA) will organise a Child lok Adalat on September 30 in the premises of Juvenile Justice Board at Dumardaga.
Talking to media persons at DlSA office, Principal Judicial Commissioner Navneet Kumar said that all efforts will be made to dispose of maximum number of cases through the Child lok Adalat.
“Pre-conciliation meeting for the same has already been started. Notices have been issued in around 70 cases to the concerned persons. We will try to dispose of maximum number of cases during this Child lok Adalat,” said the Judicial Commissioner. “There is a need to create more awareness in this regard so that maximum people get benefits out of it,” he added.
According to Kumar, two types of cases will be taken up during the Child lok Adalat – firstly, Child in conflict with the law and secondly, Child in need of care of protection. “Crimes like mobile theft and other petty crimes come under the first category while children recovered from railway stations and other public places come under the second one,” said the Judicial Commissioner. Conciliation has already been started in this regard and 20 matters have been fixed for the same, he said.
Districts like Ranchi, Khunti, latehar, Garhwa and Daltonganj will be covered during this Child lok Adalat. “Similar lok Adalats will be oraganised soon in the rest of the districts also,” Kumar said. A golden future in the field of rehabilitation of children is being seen in the Child lok Adalat.
Kumar also said that following directions given by JHAlSA Executive Chairman Justice D N Patel during his visit to the remand home two months back, all shortcomings have been removed.
He said that some drastic changes have been brought in the remand home so that children coming out of it could get adjusted in the mainstream easily. “50 children have also been given vocational training of mobile repairing so that they can start a new life after coming out of the remand home,” said Kumar.
