This is a true story of Smt.
Zonuntluangi regarding their problem which she filed a petition at Lok Adalat.
The mentioned petitioner’s husband
died few years back leaving behind two siblings. The older one is handicapped who
cannot work as a normal person and hence nothing is been expected from him
concerning income. However, the younger one is a serving Army whose earning is
decent enough. However, after the younger brother got married he had shifted to
other local with his wife without the approval of his mother and left behind
his old mother and his handicapped brother who then live a hard life worrying
for their own being.
The mentioned petitioner once saw a
show in television broadcasted by local network regarding Talk Show conducted
by the Mizoram State Legal Services Authority wherein she felt that the Mizoram
State Legal Services Authority could help them regarding their problems through
Lok Adalat. Hence, she rushed to seek remedy to the office of Member Secretary,
Mizoram State Legal Services Authority and discussed about her family problem.
After being heard by the officials about her problems a petition was filed at
Lok Adalat claiming maintenances for herself and for her handicapped son
against her younger son.
Since the younger son is an army and
does not have time to appear before the Lok Adalat, the conciliators with the
co-ordination of the officials take chances to bring the respondent before
the Lok Adalat during his official leave. Once the official was informed about that the
younger son of the petitioner is having official leave the case is again
brought up before the Lok Adalat.
After having discussed their plea
before the conciliators of Lok Adalat, the case is amicably settled and hence,
the respondent will sent money as maintenance to his birthright family every
month from his monthly income.
All the litigants left the Lok Adalat
with tears of joy and further, their family relationship was being restored.
