Kathayallithu Jeevitham, Amrita TV's family courtroom show has crossed 1000 episodes. The popular show anchored by yesteryear star Vidhubala Ambat, is aired every Monday to Thursday at 9.30 pm.
Amrita TV has celebrated this achievement by conducting a special event to celebrate the 1000th episode of the show on December 15, 2014 at Mascot hotel in Thiruvananthapuram.
The cases of Kathayallithu Jeevitham takes place in an informal courtroom setting in which the plaintiff, the defendant and their family members are present along with the moderator who keeps the proceedings in order, the entire scene presided over by a panel of members from KELSA (Kerala Legal Services Authority). Both the litigants are given a fair hearing and the grey areas of their accounts are cleared up in the show. Finally a settlement acceptable to all is arrived at and the verdict is legitimised with the seal of KELSA, with the entire procedure being completed within a couple of days.
Kathayallithu Jeevitham show has an impressive graph with a high ratio of successes and few failures dotting its plot line. Unlike conventional courts in which the opposing attorney can only argue the case on behalf of their clients, the programme has the luxury of counseling and guiding the complainants through the quicksands of disharmony to the safe shores of rapprochements. Moreover the investigative wing of Kathayalla Ithu Jeevitham which has branches all over India can also track down missing persons who have given the slip to their families.
Kathayalla Ithu Jeevitham is fast becoming the refuge of those denied justice and is effecting a quiet revolution through the implementation of intelligent legal reforms, by providing a speedy trial which is a citizen's fundamental constitutional right.
