A special drive to clear pendency of cases in revenue courts will be carried out across Rajasthan from May 18 to July 15.
The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting of the state government in which it was also decided to lift ban on transfers of government employees except revenue officials, besides 10 per cent hike in the consolidated salary of probationary employees and renaming of four public colleges.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Rajasthan Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore said that four lakh cases were pending in revenue courts with a majority of them (87 per cent) in the sub-division magistrate courts.
"The government will undertake the 'Nyay Apke Dwar' (justice at your doorstep) campaign from May 18 to July 15 in selected Gram Panchayats in all the districts. We plan to clear 1.5 lakh cases during the campaign," he said.
He said presentation of the draft policies on mining, tourism and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) were also given in the meeting.
Chief Minster Vasundhra Raje, who chaired the meeting, will decide when to launch these new three policies, he added.
Rathore said that the decision to hike the consolidated salary of probationary employees will cover 40,000 people.
"The government will have to bear an extra Rs. 25 crore monthly for the purpose," he said.
The minister also said that the efforts by the two teams of Rajasthan government which had been sent to Nepal for relief work were also lauded in the cabinet meeting.
