A.Dear Client,

The resolution of loans typically occurs during the pre-litigation stage or within ongoing court proceedings. Lok Adalat, as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, plays a significant role in settling disputes amicably. Lok Adalats are forums where disputes, either pending in a court of law or at the pre-litigation stage, can be resolved through compromise. These adalats have obtained statutory status under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987.

Primarily dealing with civil matters, Lok Adalats have the authority to issue summons for early settlement of pending cases, provided that the matter falls within the scope defined in section 19(5)(ii) of the Act. However, it is essential that no case is referred to the Lok Adalat without giving a reasonable opportunity to the other party to be heard.

Section 20(3) of The Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 stipulates that when a case is referred to a Lok Adalat, the forum proceeds to dispose of the matter and arrive at a compromise or settlement between the parties. This underscores the role of Lok Adalats in facilitating amicable resolutions in legal disputes.
