The Parties approach the court that he/she wants to transfer the case to the lok adalat then both the consent is required as p er the SC judgment right For a reference to Lokadalat consent of both the parties necessary. You may refer the judgement of Supreme Court in State of Punjab Vs. Jalour Singh [(2008)2 SCC 660]. In this judgement Supreme Court delineated the contours of Lok Adalat. But But if the court feels that matter should be transferred to the lok adalat then the consent of the parties are required. “”””Especially when the court feels & not when the parties have applied to the court””””””

At any stage the court fees is refund to the parties when the case is trf to lok adalat ? The Point is in any stage of the proceedings which is going on in the court. ? Any stage.

Binding precedent are applicable to the lok adalat.

Thanks.
