## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF LAW AND JUSTICE; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS

## (SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL)

- (a) to  (c):  The  State/UT-wise  (including  Jharkhand  and  Chhattisgarh)  and  year-wise details of number of Lok Adalats organized, cases received and cases disposed of by National Lok Adalats, State Lok Adalats and Permanent Lok Adalats (Public Utility Services) during the last three years are at Annexure-A, Annexure-B and Annexure-C respectively.

E-Lok Adalats started functioning during covid pandemic which significantly improved  access  to  justice  for  people  who  were  not  able  to  participate  in  the  Lok Adalats physically. The first E-Lok Adalat was held on 27.06.2020 and since then ELok Adalats have been organized in 28 States / UTs.  The State/UT-wise (including Jharkhand  and  Chhattisgarh)  details  of  cases  received  and  cases  settled  in  E-Lok Adalats  since  June,  2020  are  at  Annexure-D.    The  figures  of  disposal  of  E-Lok Adalats  are  shown  separately,  but  are  included  in  National  and  State  Lok  Adalat cases.

(d):  Every  year,  National  Legal  Services  Authority  (NALSA)  issues  calendar  for organising  National  Lok  Adalats.  During  the  year  2025,  National  Lok  Adalats  are scheduled  to  be  held  on  8 th March,  10 th May,  13 th September  and  13 th December. Hence, no National Lok Adalat has been held yet in the current year.

(e): Lok Adalat is one of the alternative dispute redressal mechanisms. It is a forum where disputes/cases pending in the court of law or at pre-litigation stage are settled/ compromised amicably. Lok Adalats have been given statutory status under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. There is no court fee payable when a matter is filed in a Lok Adalat. If a matter pending in the court of law is referred to the Lok Adalat and is settled subsequently, the court fee originally paid in the court on the complaints/petition is also refunded to the parties. Lok Adalats have a uniform policy for dealing with cases, no distinction therefore exists between the States. Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh have performed fairly well than many other States in disposing off cases in the Lok Adalats as evident from Annexures enclosed herewith.
