Adnan Siddiqui Highlights Key Limitations of Lok Adalat Cases
As the upcoming Lok Adalat offers a platform to resolve pending land acquisition disputes and traffic challans, legal expert Adnan Siddiqui clarifies its scope in an article by The Economic Times. He emphasizes that Lok Adalats generally do not take up serious offenses, including drunken driving, rash and negligent driving causing grievous injury or death, and cases involving repeat offenders.
This distinction is vital in ensuring that Lok Adalats remain a forum for amicable settlements of civil disputes, minor criminal offenses, and financial matters, rather than handling severe legal violations. Known for their speedy, cost-effective, and conciliatory approach, Lok Adalats significantly contribute to reducing the burden on conventional courts and facilitating justice for common citizens.
