Lok Adalats held by electricity discom BSES along with the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) settled 4,000 power theft cases of 39 crore over the weekend i.e., December 8-9, 2018, said a company official.

Cases relating to direct theft as well as meter tampering that were pending before courts or were yet to be filed were taken up at these Lok Adalats, held at Saket, Dwarka, Karkardooma district courts and at the permanent Lok Adalat building at ITO.
