Lok-Adalat, as one of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms, has assumed a significant role in present days. The institution is developing day by day for the last two decades. However, the pace of development is different from state to state. The author tried to analyse in depth all aspects of Lok-Adalat, like its emergence, how the concept developed and the reasons for its development as an Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanism. The legal mechanisms of Lok-Adalat and how the institution is functioning in different parts of the country in general, and in West Bengal in particular, are also discussed in length. A large number of suggestions are being provided for better functioning of the Lok-Adalat. Selection and arrangement of different rules and regulations is a rigorous exercise. In this book, the author has tried to compile all major State Rules and Regulations. The compilation and inclusion of different rules and regulations, promulgated by different State Authorities and Committees, along with The Legal Services Authorities Act, as annexure, will provide different functionaries, with a handbook of Laws relating to Lok-Adalat and Legal aid in India.
