Abstract

India is country where the population is the highest and we are ranking 1st in population. With the increase in population and technology and commercialization its not like that there will be no disputes at all with anybody and all are law abiding citizens. Theoretically this sounds good but practically its not possible in a country like India. When we are in Industrial Revolution 4.0 then and where AI is working then at some point dispute is going to arise which is an indispensable thing. If we take all such small/ big disputes to the court of Law then we can see that there will be a huge number of pending back-log of cases and the case registration number is an enormous one. If we only depend upon court to deliver justice then we don’t know when we will get justice. The only way to resolve is through the active participation in Lok Adalat as established under the Legal Service Authority Act and advocating the importance of Lok Adalat and how its functioning and creating an awareness/ sensitization of the people about the Lok Adalat as means of dispute resolution mechanism.
