Question

An advantage of ............ is that there is no strict application of the procedural laws and the disputing parties can directly interact with the judges.

• A. Mediation
• B. Lok Adalat
• C. Conciliation
• D. Tribunal

Hint:

Lok Adalats provide informal, speedy dispute resolution with relaxed procedures and direct party-judge interaction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Lok Adalats are an alternative dispute resolution mechanism in India designed to provide speedy and amicable settlement of disputes. They are informal forums where procedural laws are relaxed, and parties can interact directly with judges or conciliators to resolve issues without the complexities of formal court procedures.
Mediation and Conciliation are also alternative dispute mechanisms but generally do not involve judges directly.
Tribunals are formal quasi-judicial bodies that follow procedural laws more strictly than Lok Adalats. Lok Adalat’s informal nature and direct interaction with judges make it unique and advantageous.
