Dear Sir,
Divorce through Lok Adalath is more stronger than Divorce from Court because the earlier cannot be challenged before the Hon'ble High Court and it cannot be set aside. However, you must be very careful at the time of drafting at the time of the said settlement before Lok Adalath.

Hi,
above subject matter, The persons deciding the cases in the Lok Adalats are called the Members of the Lok Adalats, they have the role of statutory conciliators only and do not have any judicial role; therefore they can only persuade the parties to come to a conclusion for settling the dispute outside the court in the Lok Adalat and shall not pressurize or coerce any of the parties to compromise or settle cases or matters either directly or indirectly. The Lok Adalat shall not decide the matter so referred at its own instance, instead the same would be decided on the basis of the compromise or settlement between the parties.
