Solution

The correct option is D Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987
The term ‘Lok Adalat’ means ‘People’s Court’. These Courts have been introduced under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. These courts aren’t a formal setting with a plaintiff and a defendant and a bench and witness - they are smaller, more local, intimate affairs. And such courts can have a shorter process of delivering judgements. They were set up by Justice P. N. Bhagwati to provide free legal aid to those who can’t afford it.
