Solution

The correct option is B 3 and 4 Only
Lok Adalat is one of the alternative dispute redressal mechanisms. It is a forum where disputes pending in the court of law or at the pre-litigation stage are settled amicably. Lok Adalats have been given statutory status under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. The decisions made by the Lok Adalats is deemed to be a decree of a civil court and is final and binding on all parties and no appeal against such an award lies before any court of law. There is no court fee and if the case is already filed in the regular court, the fee paid will be refunded if the dispute is settled at Lok Adalat.
