It was an amazing experience of having an interactive session of one hour with the Judge. The
Judge talked with us on variety of subjects which included the importance of Lok Adalats, the
approach of parties in the Lok Adalat, role of subordinate courts in the Indian Judicial system,
and the importance of giving true picture of subordinate courts and Lok Adalats to law students
in their curriculum.

Suggestions

Lok Adalat as means of settling disputes has to encouraged by the parties as

well as by the Judges. Judges must themselves recommend the solving of
dispute through Lok Adalat to the parties.

The frequency of sessions Lok Adalat should be increased.

The powers of Lok Adalat should be widen.

 9

The Lok Adalat must collaborate with the Law Universities and other such
instituions for promotion of Lok Adalat and they may also take the
assistance of law students whenever the nature if work require so.
