Question
Write a short note on Lok Adalat.
Solution
To reduce the time and expenditure, a system of Lok Adalats has been started in our country. The basic idea behind the scheme of Lok Adalats is to eliminate delay in imparting justice and to speed up clearance of pending cases as soon as possible. Under this system the cases are decided quickly and without much expenditure. In Delhi, in 1985, the first Lok Adalat was held and 150 cases were decided in a single day. The concept of Lok Adalat implies resolution of peoples disputes by discussion, counselling, persuasion and conciliation so that it gives speedy and cheap justice with the mutual and free consent of the parties concerned.
