Consider the following : 1. Disputes with mobile cellular companies. 2. Motor accident cases 3. Pension cases For which of the above are Lok Adalats held?
Explanation
Lok Adalats take up pre‑litigation and pending matters of civil and compoundable criminal nature and specifically include consumer/service disputes, motor accident claims and service matters such as pension cases. Official National/State Lok Adalat notifications list motor accident claim cases and service matters including pension-related disputes among categories taken up, and also cover consumer and public‑utility/service grievances which would include disputes with service providers (e.g., mobile/cellular companies) [1]. Textbook summaries of Lok Adalat jurisdiction similarly enumerate service matters and motor accident claims as matters regularly settled in National and State Lok Adalats, confirming that all three categories (1, 2 and 3) are admissible to Lok Adalats [2].
