Corporation brings closure to 121 long-pending cases
The cash-strapped Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) settled 121 long-pending cases seeking compensation at a recently concluded national Lok Adalat.
The settled cases included one which was booked 28 years ago. The settlement was possible after the corporation and the complainant reached an understanding to drop the interest part of the compensation that was awarded to the complainant, according to those at the Kerala State Legal Services Authority (KELSA), who organised the event.
In the settled case, an interest of ₹50,600 was allowed along with the award of ₹22,400. However, both the parties reached an understanding to waive the interest and the KSRTC agreed to transfer the compensation to the complainant next week. The corporation will thus pay a total compensation of ₹88 lakh in the 121 cases next week, KELSA officials said.

Justice P.V. Asha permitted the procedure on a petition by the mother of a 16-year-old girl whose pregnancy has crossed 28 weeks, the oldest one to be cleared by the Kerala High Court, legal sources pointed out.
The Hindu had earlier reported that the court had permitted medical termination of pregnancy for seven girls in six months.
