Supreme Court Directs NALSA to Review Lok Adalat Members' Remuneration Plea
The Supreme Court has directed the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) to review a plea seeking better remuneration for permanent Lok Adalat members, citing their increased workload and expanded jurisdiction. The court noted practical challenges in issuing payment directives due to funding restrictions and suggested approaching respective high courts for examination based on state grants. Petitioners argued that current salary rules are discriminatory, with different pay for chairpersons and members. Previous attempts in high courts led to minor pay increases but no independent resolution.
