Solution

The correct option is C 1982
In India, the state has the responsibility to provide free legal aid to citizens and ensure justice for everyone. The Alternative Dispute Resolution was adopted as a system parallel to the formal court and rules procedure to dispense justice and settle justice. The First Lok Adalat was held in 1982 at Gujarat. They have been given statutory status by Legal Service Authorities Act. It accepts cases pending in court and presides over by Lok Adalat members who act as the conciliator. The Consent of parties to the settlement is required and the decision given is final and binding upon parties.
