CSPDCL Wins Appeal Against Lok Adalat Order in Worker Death Case

The Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company (CSPDCL) successfully challenged a 2014 Lok Adalat order that had erroneously handled a compensation claim. The High Court found that the Lok Adalat passed an award without a mutual settlement between the employer, contractor, and the deceased's family. The court emphasized that the award was unsustainable under the Legal Services Authorities Act.
