Role of Lok Adalats in India

Lok Adalats are the alternative justice dispensation system of this global society. It provides a supplementary forum to the victims for satisfactory settlement of their disputes. It is one of the components of ADR systems. Justice, equity and fair play are the guiding factors for decisions of any conflict of civil matters before the Lok Adalats . Compromising the cases are basic principles of Lok Adalats to avoid time length and economic harassment from our busy society. Article 39(A) of Indian constitution provides that the state shall secure the operation of the legal system to promote justice, on a basis of equal opportunity and shall provide free legal aid or any other to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizen by reason of economic or other disabilities. Article 39(A) of Indian constitution is not sufficient to cater the people's need of dispute resolution through Lok Adalat. This paper emphasized the role of Lok Adalat in India for making in inexpensive, efficacious and speedy justice accessible to the public.
