Q25 (CDS-I/2008) Polity & Governance › Judiciary › Lok Adalats Answer Verified

Assertion (A) : An award made by a Lok Adalat is deemed to be a decree of a Civil Court. Reason (R) : Award of Lok Adalat is final and binding on all parties, and no appeal lies against thereto before any

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Assertion (A) is true as Section 21 of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, creates a legal fiction where every award of a Lok Adalat is deemed to be a decree of a civil court [c1][t2][t10]. This status ensures the award is executable through the same mechanisms as a court decree [t3][t7]. Reason (R) is also true; the Act specifies that every award made by a Lok Adalat is final and binding on all parties to the dispute, and no appeal lies against it in any court [c1][c2][t1]. Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A) because the non-appealable and final nature of the award is derived from its statutory status as a civil court decree, which is intended to provide a definitive and speedy resolution to disputes without further litigation [c2][t8][t9].
