1 289 CHAPTER: V The Lok Adalat and Motor Accident Claims2 290 CHAPTER: V The Lok Adalat and Motor Accident Claims A. Introduction Camps of Lok Adalat were started initially in Gujarat in March 1982 and now it has been extended throughout the Country. The evolution of this movement was a part of the strategy to relieve heavy burden on the Courts with pending cases. The reason to create such camps were only the pending cases and to give relief to the litigants who were in a queue to get justice. Seekers of justice are in millions and it is becoming rather difficult for the Courts to cope up with the ever-increasing cases with the present infrastructure and manpower. Courts are clogged with cases. There is serious problem of overcrowding of dockets. Because of the ever-increasing number of cases the Court system is under great pressure. Therefore, if there was at the threshold a permanent mechanism or machinery to settle the matters at a pre-trial stage, many matters would not find their way to the Courts. Similarly, if there are permanent forums to which Courts may refer cases, the load of cases could be taken off the Courts. In order to reduce the heavy demand on Court time, cases must be resolved by resorting to 'Alternative Dispute Resolution' Methods before they enter the portals of Court. Here comes the significance of Lok Adalat which has showed its significance by settling huge number of Third Party claims referred by Motor Accident Claim Tribunal (MACT). Except matters relating to offences, which are not compoundable, a Lok Adalat has jurisdiction to deal with all matters. Matters pending or at pre-trial stage, provided a reference is made to it by a court or by3 291 the concerned authority or committee, when the dispute is at a pre-trial stage and not before a Court of Law it can be referred to Lok Adalat. A large number of cases are settled expeditiously through Lok Adalats and with lesser costs to the parties. Initially, there was no statutory backing for its functioning and decisions and Lok Adalats were working as voluntary and conciliatory agency. It was becoming popular day by day for providing a speedier system of administration of justice. In view of its growing popularity there has been a demand for providing a statutory backing to the institution of and the awards given by the Lok Adalats. It was felt that such a statutory support would not only reduce the burden of the arrears of work in regular courts, but would also take justice to the doorsteps of the poor and the needy and make justice quicker and less expensive 1. In order, therefore, to constitute Legal Services Authorities to provide free and competent legal service to the weaker sections of the society, to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizen by reason of economic and other disabilities, and to organize Lok Adalats to secure that the operations of the legal system promotes justice on a basis of equal opportunity, the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, was enacted which received the assent of the President on 11 th October, 1987 and came on the statue book. Sections 19 to 22 of Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, deal with formation, organization and functions of Lok Adalats. 1 Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, Statement of Objects and Reasons4 292 B.

D. Jurisdiction of Lok Adalats In State of Punjab V Jalour Singh 7 s case Honb le Supreme Court of India held that the Lok Adalat has no jurisdiction to decide matters without the consent of parties to the matters. In National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Vijay Kumar Sharma 8 s case it was held by the court that Permanent Lok Adalats have jurisdiction to decide matter relating to accident claims in which insurer disputed the claim. E. Idea Behind Formation of Lok Adalats The idea behind formation of Lok Adalats is no doubt to expeditiously settle the claims and disputes between the parties. But at the same time the court should not forget its obligation under law to protect the interest of the parties, specially the claims of minors and persons of unsound mind. In fact, the court should keep a watch while making settlements of claims in Lok Adalats. It cannot be lost sight of that a litigant under pressure of time and money spent in courts easily succumbs to the pressure and agrees to the small amounts which may not be adequate to compensate the actual loss suffered. The court should keep a watch 6 Court Fees Act, 1870, Section 16 7 State of Punjab v. Jalour Singh, 2008 ACJ 2874 (SC) 8 National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Vijay Kumar Sharma, 2009 ACJ 403 (JHAR).10 298 that no such pressure prevails on a litigant. This responsibility becomes heavier when the court or tribunal is dealing with cases of minors or persons of unsound mind. In the matter of Manju Gupta v. National Insurance Co. Ltd 9, it was observed by Hon ble Allahabad High Court that Lok Adalats in the name of speedy justice, the courts should not sacrifice the real cause of justice for which confidence has been reposed on them by the society. F. Compromise on behalf of Unsound Mind and Minor Persons In a claim petition on behalf of Unsound Person and Minor, no settlement or compromise could be arrived at without the permission of the court as required under Rules 6 and 7 of Order 32 of Civil Procedure Code. In the matter of Manju Gupta v. National Insurance Co. Ltd 10 the District Judge mentioned in his report that no leave of this court has been obtained before entering in to the settlement or compromise and the mandatory provisions of Rules 7 of Order 32 of Civil Procedure Code not complied with. The Lok Adalat in the matter was presided over by the Additional District Judge acting also as the Presiding Officer of the Claims Tribunal. In the matter, a girl of the age of 3 years has lost her both legs in motor accident and father of the girl settled the matter in Lok Adalat for Rs. 30,000/- payable by Insurance Company. Tribunal passed the award on the basis of that compromise. It was held by Hon ble Allahabad High Court that the compromise entered in to was not only without compliance of Rules 7 of Order 32 of Civil Procedure Code but also the amount of Rs. 30,000/- was grossly inadequate for the injury sustained by the minor girl. Taking suo motu notice of these inadequacies, the High Court enhanced the amount of compensation to Rs. One lakhs. 9 Manju Gupta v. National Insurance Co. Ltd, 1994 ACJ 1036 (All) 10 Ibid.11 299 From the above it follows that Claims Tribunals have the authority to enhance the amount of compensation even when a compromise settlement has been arrived between the parties at Lok Adalats. G. Reasonableness of Amount of Compromise Settlements arrived at Lok Adalats It is for the court or tribunal to decide the reasonableness of the amount of compromise settlement and agreement, if any entered in to before the Lok Adalats. Agreement entered in to before the Lok Adalats will not come in the way of the court or tribunal for granting reasonable compensation. In the matter of United India Fire and General Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Pallapu Sridevi 11, Andhra Pradesh High Court held that an amount of compensation for Rs. 91,000/- passed by the Claim Tribunal for amputation of leg of a Young Girl of seven years was not on the higher side. In the case of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation v. Kumudavalli 12 Double Bench of Karnataka High Court held that where there is wide gulf between amount that would have been received by claimants and consequently by minors in traditional method of adjudication, and which would be much higher than which has been agreed to in compromise settlement by Lok Adalat, the tribunal would be right in rejecting the compromise. 11 United India Fire and General Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Pallapu Sridevi, 1994 (1) ACC 110 (AP). 12 Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation v. Kumudavalli, 2004 (1) ACC 80 (Kar).12 300 H. Validity of Compromise Settlements in Lok Adalats Signed by Advocate on behalf of Party In the matter of Sakamma v. Divisional Commissioner 13 Double Bench of Karnataka High Court held that the award passed by the Tribunal in terms of the compromise is valid. In the matter contention of the claimants was that they have not authorized their Advocate to enter in to the com promise and that the compromise petitions were not signed by the claimants. However, the clause in the Vakalatnama had authorized the Advocate to compromise the matter. The Supreme Court of India in the matter of Byran Pestonji Gariwala v. Union Bank of India 14 has observed in the context that: To insist upon the party himself personally signing the agreement or compromise would often cause undue delay, loss and inconvenience, especially in the case of non-resident persons. It has always been universally understood that a party can always act by his duly authorized representative. If a power of attorney holder can enter in to an agreement or compromise on behalf of his principal, so can counsel possessed of the requisite authorization by vakalatnama, act on behalf of his client, not to recognize such capacity is not only to cause much inconvenience and loss to the parties personally, but also to delay in the progress of the proceedings of the court. If the legislature had intended to make such a fundamental change, even at the risk of delay, inconvenience and needless expenditure, it would have expressly so stated. I. Award of Lok Adalats Even Without Compromise 13 Sakamma v. Divisional Commissioner, 1994 ACJ 1266 (Kar). 14 Byran Pestonji Gariwala v. Union Bank of India, AIR 1991 SC 2234.13 301 In the matter of Life Insurance Corporation of India v. State of Rajasthan 15, Double Bench of Rajasthan High Court held that in a dispute arising from a public utility service, Permanent Lok Adalat can pass an award even without a compromise having been arrived at between parties. J. Dismissal of Claims by Lok Adalats in Case of Default by Parties In case of absence of claimant or for any other reasons, the Lok Adalats cannot dismiss the claims of the claimants on the basis of default of claimant. The Lok Adalats must return the records of the matter to the concerned Court or Tribunal by making a noting that compromise or settlement failed. In the matter of Gangi v. Second Additional District Judge, Hamirpur 16 s case Allahabad High Court held that it is not proper on the part of Lok Adalat to dismiss the claim for default of claimant to appear. K. Award of Lok Adalat and Appeal It is settled law that no appeal lies against the award of a Lok Adalat as Lok Adalat s award is always based on consent decree. In the matter of S.Kesar Singh v. Balbir Singh 17 High Court of Jammu and Kashmir held that though such decree can be interfered with if same is result of fraud and misrepresentation or such like factors and mere vague allegation against the counsel entering in to compromise on behalf of the claimant without there being any proof or material cannot lead to a conclusion or inference that consent of claimants were result of fraud played by the counsel for the claimants. 15 Life Insurance Corporation of India v. State of Rajasthan, 2007 (1) ACC 899 (Raj.) 16 Gangi v. Second Additional District Judge, Hamirpur, 2001 (1) TAC S.Kesar Singh v. Balbir Singh, 2004 (3) TAC 241 (J & K)14 302 In New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Boda Hari Singh 18 High Court of Andhra Pradesh had mentioned in the award that the parties had compromised the matter before the Lok Adalat. A mere reading of the award had revealed that the award was passed not by the Lok Adalat but by the Claims Tribunal. There was no material to show that any compromise memo signed by both the parties was ever filed in the Tribunal. Moreover, section 20 of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 prescribes the procedure of the Lok Adalat to take cognizance of cases. There must be a reference by the court concerned in all pending cases. There was nothing to show that any such reference was made. The award having not been passed by the Lok Adalat, the bar under section 21(2) of that Act in respect of Appeal was, hence, not attracted and the appeal was maintainable. However, in the matter of Mst. Anachi v. Ram Chandra 19 an appeal against the award passed by the Lok Adalat on compromise between the parties was preferred on the ground that interest was not awarded. Dismissing the appeal, it was held by the Hon ble High Court that once principal amount was accepted by way of compromise, question of interest cannot be reopened in appeal after a delay of1 ½ years and more so when interest on award of compensation is not a separate cause of action. In Deputy General Manager & Divisional Controller, Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation v. Kamappa 20 the State Transport Corporation had filed this appeal against a compromise award passed by the Lok Adalat, contending that the compromise petition presented before the Lok Adalat was not signed by it or its law officer on its behalf on basis of which the compromise award had been passed. However, the compromise petition was signed by the 18 New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Boda Hari Singh, 2000ACJ 1580 (AP) 19 Mst. Anachi v. Ram Chandra, 2002 (1) AJR 643 (Raj.) 20 Deputy General Manager & Divisional Controller, Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation v. Kamappa, 1993 ACJ 539 (Kar.)15 303 Advocate for the corporation, whose Vakalatnama had been filed in the court and clause in vakalatnama had authorized the Advocate to enter in to a compromise on behalf of the executants of the vakalatnama. It was held by the High Court that the award passed in terms of the compromise petition was valid and the appeal had to be dismissed. In United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Shabbir M Attarwala 21 the Double Bench of Mumbai High Court held that where the award of Lok Adalat could not have been passed without consent or compromise between parties, the award would be amenable to judicial review and liable to be set aside. In National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Mossamat Das Choudhary s case 22, the Lok Adalat awarded Rs. 45,000/- less Rs. 15,000/- as already paid under no fault liability, but in other two cases arising out of one and same accident, the tribunal awarded Rs.50,000/- each. On appeal by the insurer, contending its liability to be limited only up to Rs. 15,000/- the awards passed by Tribunal were restricted to Rs. 45,000/- as in first case compromised before the Lok Adalat. In State of Punjab & another v. Jalour Singh 23 s case it was held by the Supreme Court that functioning and procedure of Lok Adalat is based on principles of nature justice, equity and fair play and they are the guiding principles for Lok Adalat. In this case it was also held by the Supreme Court that duties of Lok Adalat are to explain and persuade the parties for compromise 24. In this case it was further held by the Supreme Court that modification of award by Lok Adalat in absence of parties - not valid and liable to be set aside United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Shabbir M Attarwala, 2007 ACJ 2860 (Bom) 22 National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Mossamat Das Choudhary, 1998 (2) ACC 111 (Pat) 23 State of Punjab & another v. Jalour Singh, ILC 2008 SC MAC JAN-6 24 Ibid.16 304 L. Award of Lok Adalat not open to interference merely because amount awarded was not adequate In General Manager, Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation v.pandu 26 it was held by the High Court that the Tribunal has responsibility to see that due sanctity is given to a compromise made before the Lok Adalat and merely because the Tribunal holds that the amount awarded is not just, it can be no ground to reject the compromise particularly when there is no grievance or protest against such compromise alleging fraud, misrepresentation or coercion compelling the parties to arrive at compromise. The Tribunal cannot refuse to record the compromise on ground that amount compromised was not just and reasonable. In New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Ponnamma Thomas 27 it was held by the Double Bench of Kerala High Court that Tribunal was not empowered to review an award by enhancing the compensation awarded by Lok Adalat, where Tribunal reviewed an award stating error in calculation. M. Exemption from Court Fee In Chandrakanti Das v. State of Orissa 28 it was held by the High Court that where the party has not paid the prescribed fee at the time of filing of claim petition and the Lok Adalat did not insist the party to pay the fee, it was deemed that the party was exempted from paying fees under Rule 22(2) of the Orissa Motor Vehicles ( Accident Claims) Rules Ibid. 26 General Manager, Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation v.pandu,1998 ACJ 1389(Karn). 27 New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Ponnamma Thomas, 2009 ACJ 1331(Ker.) 28 Chandrakanti Das v. State of Orissa, 2010 (1) TAC 339 (Orissa)17 305 N. Sanctity of Award of Lok Adalat Every award of Lok Adalat is deemed to be decree of civil court as per section 21 of Legal Services Authorities Act. Hence every award made by Lok Adalat is final and binding on all the parties to the dispute. In Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation Ltd. v. A.T.Narendiran 29, the Madaras High Court Held that every award made by Lok Adalat is final and binding on all the parties to the dispute. In United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Patramana 30 it was held by the Karnataka High Court that once an award has been passed by the Lok Adalat, there cannot be any interference with it unless it is manifestly shown that the award is bad or perverse or is inherently wrong. No law comes in the way of the award made by the Lok Adalat and if at all the claimant was not happy with the award made by the Lok Adalat, he could not have agreed to file a compromise. Once the compromise is filed, tribunal is stopped from resorting to procedural irregularity and tribunal is left with no option other than drawing a decree. If the claimant has taken any objection that he has not prepared to accept the award, then the Tribunal could have proceeded in accordance with law. In United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Mohammed 31 the Karnataka High Court held that the award of Lok Adalat is not being an agreement arrived at between private parties, the award of Lok Adalat has got sanctity. In this matter, the Karnataka High Court had further held that the award of Lok Adalat cannot be bypassed on ground of technical irregularities Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation Ltd. v. A.T.Narendiran, 2010 ACJ 77 (Mad) 30 United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Patramana, 1996 ACJ 427 (Kar) 31 United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Mohammed, 2000 ACJ 15818 306 O.

P. Review. A large number of cases are settled expeditiously through Lok Adalats and with lesser costs to the parties. Initially, there was no statutory backing for its functioning and decisions and Lok Adalats were working as voluntary and conciliatory agency. It is becoming popular day by day for providing a speedier system of administration of justice. In view of its growing popularity there was a demand for providing a statutory backing to the institution of and the awards given by the Lok Adalats. It was felt that such a statutory support would not only reduce the burden of the arrears of work in regular courts, but would also take justice to the doorsteps of the poor and the needy and make justice quicker and less expensive. Sections 19 to 22 of Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, deals with organization and functions of Lok Adalats. Every State Authority or District Authority or the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee or every High Court Legal Services Committee or, as the case may be, Taluk Legal Services Committee may organize Lok Adalats at such intervals 36 Ibid., Order X, Rule 1C, (inserted by CPC (Amendment) Act, 1999) View more
