NEW DELHI: India's first woman IPS officer Kiran Bedi is all set to host a television reality show in which she will seek to resolve real-life disputes with parties presenting their case before her.
"I am really excited about the show, which is titled 'Aap Ki Kacheri'. It was to be aired in Star Plus channel from Monday, but has now got delayed by a week due to a strike by production houses," Bedi said at a function to mark the silver jubilee year of the FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) here.
The show, which is replacing Star's much-popular soap opera 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', will bring parties embroiled in civil disputes and willing to argue their case before camera, with Bedi playing 'judge' and cross-examiner.
Eager to deflect criticism of any encroachment into the field of judiciary, Bedi made it clear that the cases will be those which are not pending before any court and all legal aspects will be looked into before recording any episode.
Bedi, who was feted as a braveheart and a role model for women while also courting several controversies during her career, hoped that the show will trigger a movement for voluntary dispute redressal systems across the country.
The event also saw release of a special First Day Postal Cover to mark the silver jubilee of FLO.
Delivering a lecture on "bad leadership habits", Bedi spoke of how "not listening" to others are creating problems across the board, including in government machinery.
"If Manmohan Singh and L K Advani sits in a room with no other officials but the Directors General of Police, and listens to them, they can solve most of the law and order problems," she said.
