Lok Adalat (translation "People's Court") is a formal Indian judicial alternative dispute resolution forum that serves to settle cases pending findings of a panchayat (an elected village council) or at the pre-litigation stage in a court of law. Lok Adalats are a traditional Indian method to relieve the overburdened court system by providing relatively quick arbitration. The decisions have statutory status under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. Under this Act, the verdict made by the Lok Adalat is deemed to be of the same legally-binding force as a findings at the civil court: final for all the parties and not subject to appeal. If the parties do not recognize the findings of the Lok Adalat, they may initiate litigation by approaching the court that possesses the appropriate jurisdiction.
