Lok Adalat (people's courts), established by the government of India to settle desputes through conciliation and compromise. The first Lok Adalat was held in Chennai in 1986. Lok adalats accept cases which could be settled conciliation and compromise, pending in regular courts within their jurisdiction.

The Lok Adalat is presided over by a sitting or retired judicial officer as chairmen, with two other members, usually a lawyer and a social worker. There is no court fee. If the case is already filed in regular court, the fee paid is refunded if the dispute is settled at the Lok Adalat. Procedural laws and the Evidence Act are not strictly followed by the Lok Adalats while assessing the merits of claims. The condition of the Lok Adalat is that both parties in dispute should agree for settlement. The decision of Lok Adalat is binding on the parties to the disputes and its order is capable of execution through the legal process. No appeal lies against the order of the Lok Adalat.

Lok Adalat is very effective is settlement of money claims. Disputes, like partition suits, damages and matrimonial cases can also be easily settled in Lok Adalats, as chances of compromise through give and take approach stand high in such cases.
Lok Adalat is boon to the litigant public, where they can get their disputes settled fat and free of cost.

Lok Adalat has proved to be effective mechanism for resolution of disputes through conciliatory methods. About 7.25 lakh Lok Adalats have been held throughout the Indian Union till March 2009 in which more than 2.68 crore cases have been settled. In about 16.87 lakh were motor accident claim cases.

Lok Adalats have been given the status of a civil court and every award made by the Lok Adalat is final and binding on the all parties and no appeal lies to any court against the award.
