Maharashtra government would set up a forum on the lines of 'Lok Adalat' for out-of-court settlement of the cases involving the government, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said here tonight.

Fadnavis was speaking at an interactive session at 'Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year Award, 2016' function, organised by the media group Lokmat. "We need to set up a forum on the lines of Lok adalats which would assess the merit of the cases filed by the government," Fadnavis said.
