Lok Adalat Lok Adalat is conducted by High Court Legal Services Committee, District Legal Services Authorities and Taluk Legal Services Committees. A Lok Adalat consists of a serving or retired judicial officer and not more than 12 social workers, one of whom should be preferably a woman. The Lok Adalat has jurisdiction to determine and to arrive at a compromise or settlement in cases pending before the courts, and also in cases which had not reached the court. In the latter case request has to be made to the Chairman District Legal Services Authority or Taluk Legal Services Committee for taking appropriate actions. Only compoundable criminal cases can be settled before Lok Adalat. The award passed by the Lok Adalat shall be deemed to be a decree and can be executed before the court and no appeal shall lie against such an award.
Development Projects and Plans Establishment of special Lok Adalats for settlement of disputes pending in various Government Departments, Local Bodies and Public Undertakings. Establishment of Legal Aid Clinics and Legal Aid Centres in all the University Centres, Colleges and other selected Centres. Constitution of Legal Aid Cells in every district for the purpose of dealing with the grievances of the detenues languishing in prison. Constitution of seperate Adalat for the settlement of disputes pending with woman's Commission in every district Establishment of permanent and continuous Lok Adalats in the District Centre for the expeditious disposal of both pre-litigative and litigative cases Establishment of Counseling and Conciliation Centres in all the District Centres. The setting up of these centres at District level would not only enable the District Legal Services Authorities to motivate parties to arrive at negotiated settlements but also held them in ascertaining as to whether a person applying for legal aid has or not a prima facie case in his favour.
