What is a Lok Adalat?
A Lok Adalat is an alternative dispute-resolution forum designed to facilitate the amicable settlement of eligible cases. It can deal with pending cases as well as certain matters at the pre-litigation stage. The system operates under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, and is intended to provide a simpler and faster route for resolving suitable disputes. For Delhi motorists, National Lok Adalats have also become an important avenue for dealing with eligible traffic challans.
