Moreover, it was successful in solving disputes. Thereafter, Lok Adalats spread to different parts of India. At first, these places were voluntary and aimed to solve problems without using laws. Furthermore, as Lok Adalats became more popular, people wanted them to have legal support and recognition for their decisions. Thus, in the year 1987, the Legal Services Authorities Act gave Lok Adalats a legal status. Read on to learn about the 6 Features of Lok Adalat in India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-empowerment-to-organize-lok-adalats-nbsp\">1. Empowerment to Organize Lok Adalats&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The State Legal Services Authority, District Legal Services Authority, Supreme Court Legal Services Committee, High Court Legal Services Committee, or the Thluk Legal Services Committee have been given the power to arrange Lok Adalats at intervals and locations of their choosing. Thus, exercising their jurisdiction over areas deemed appropriate by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-lok-adalat-composition\">2. Lok Adalat Composition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, each Lok Adalat established for a specific region will be composed of a specified number of serving or retired judicial officers and people from the area, as decided by the organizing agency. Normally, a Lok Adalat includes a judicial officer serving as the chairperson along with a lawyer and a social worker as members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(202,248,128) 82%,rgb(113,206,126) 100%)\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><strong>7 Functions of High Court in India: Jurisdiction and Power<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-jurisdiction\">3. Jurisdiction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Lok Adalat, under its jurisdiction, can determine and reach a compromise or settlement between the parties involved in a dispute regarding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>any case pending before any court; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>any matter falling within the jurisdiction of a court but not yet brought before such court.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, this means that the Lok Adalat is empowered to address not just cases already in court but also disputes at the pre-litigation stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Lok Adalat does not have jurisdiction over any case or matter relating to an offence that is non-compoundable under any law. In simpler terms, offences classified as non-compoundable under any law are beyond the scope of the Lok Adalat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-referral-to-lok-adalat-for-case-settlement\">4. Referral to Lok Adalat for Case Settlement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature of Lok Adalat states that a case pending before the court could be referred to the Lok Adalat for settlement under the following circumstances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the parties involved agree to settle the dispute in the Lok Adalat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If one of the parties makes an application to the court to refer the case to the Lok Adalat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the court determines that the matter is appropriate to be taken up by the Lok Adalat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the instance of a pre-litigation dispute, the matter can be referred to the Lok Adalat for settlement. This is done by the agency organizing the Lok Adalat upon receiving an application from any of the parties involved in the dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(202,248,128) 74%,rgb(113,206,126) 100%)\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/general-knowledge\/civics-and-polity-devolution-of-powers-and-finances-up-to-local-levels\/\"><strong>Devolution of Powers and Finances up to Local Levels<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-legal-powers\">5.
