More fast track courts for NRIs to be set up in Punjab, says Dhaliwal
Punjab Cabinet minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal on Thursday said that he will meet the Chief of Punjab and Haryana High Court for the opening of more fast track courts for matters related to the NRIs.
Dhaliwal, who is the NRI affairs minister in the Punjab government, said he will meet the chief justice shortly to work out the modalities to expedite the process for setting up more NRI fast track courts.
Notably, several Non-Resident Indian (NRI), who originally hail from Punjab, had sought from the State Government to set up fast track courts for redressal of their issues, including property related disputes during the recently held NRI meetings.
Dhaliwal also gave instructions to depute legal advisors to provide requisite legal aid to NRIs.
He also ordered deputy commissioners concerned to resolve around 50 per cent of the grievances brought during these NRI milni programmes (Punjabi NRIs meet) through their nodal officers appointed specially for the cases of NRIs.
