Q11 (IAS/2010) Polity & Governance › Judiciary › Lok Adalats Answer Verified

With reference to Lok Adalats, which of the following statements is correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

All three statements are incorrect. Statement (1) is wrong because Lok Adalats have jurisdiction both over cases pending before any court and over pre‑litigation (matters not yet brought before a court) [2]. Statement (2) is incorrect because Lok Adalats can dispose of civil disputes and also compoundable criminal matters; they cannot deal with offences which are non‑compoundable under law [2]. Statement (3) is false as Lok Adalat benches include serving or retired judicial officers along with other members such as advocates and social workers, not judicial officers alone [2]. Therefore option (4) (None of the statements is correct) is the right choice.
