Lok Adalat is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism designed to provide speedy and cost-effective justice. Cases are settled through mutual compromise between the disputing parties, without the requirement of court fees. The process aims to reduce the pendency of cases and ease the workload of regular courts.
Legal authorities noted that the one-day exercise contributed to quicker dispute resolution and reinforced public access to justice through informal, conciliatory means.
