  1. Correct Answer – Option 2 : a retired judge

    The correct answer is a retired judge.

    A Lok Adalat means people’s court.

     

    A Lok Adalat was established by the government to settle the disputes by mutual consent.

    • It is presided over by a sitting or retired judicial officer as the chairman with a lawyer and a social worker.
    • Disputes are solved through conciliation and compromise between litigants.
    • In Lok Adalat, both parties should agree to the settlement.
    • Here, the public can settle Their disputes free of cost. If the fee was paid in the regular court, the fee is refunded after the settlement.
    • This court doesn’t follow the Evidence Act and any procedural laws strictly.

    Thus, it is clear that a Lok Adalat is generally presided over by a retired judge.

    • The idea of Lok Adalat was advocated by a former Chief Justice of India, Justice P.N. Bhagawati.
    • The first Lok Adalat was held in Gujarat on 14 March 1982.
