Why it matters
Lok Adalats serve as a vital mechanism to reduce the massive backlog of cases in the Indian judicial system.

Addressing a gathering during the National Lok Adalat organised at the District Court complex in Ballari, Mr. Prabhu said the Lok Adalat had emerged as one of the most effective and widely accepted alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in the Indian judicial system.
“It functions with the objective of ensuring justice for all by providing speedy and free access to justice, while relieving litigants of prolonged court proceedings,” he said.
