There is a system of lok adalats in the country. These courts have been set up for the settlement of disputes through mutual consent outside the formal structure of the courts. There is a permanent lok adalat in every district, and they can also be held at lower level, in accordance with a schedule. The judge, with the help of some prominent persons of the area, seeks to settle the dispute by mediation and counselling. Any agreement that is arrived at, is accepted by the regular courts. Lok adalats are very popular in Rajasthan. Mutual disputes are eliminated through mutual consent and cheap and quick justice is obtained.
