Procedure to approach Lok Adalat for divorce case
19-Apr-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi My friend has filed a divorce case in Ahemdabad since July 2017. Every hearing date went waste till March, 2018 as notice was not getting delivered to his wife by court. His wife came to the court for the first time on April 10, 2018 but again the judge was absent that day. :( Now my friend wants to approach lok adalat for his divorce. Can he do so if the opposite party agrees to do so? No proceeding has started in the court till now. :( Religion... Hindu,Sindhi
If both the parties are agree to settle the matter in lok adalat , they can go with that option. Ask your lawyer for the same and give application in the court to settle the matter in lok adalat . But opposite party must agree for that.

Can Lok Adalat give punishment?
Yes, Lok Adalat is concerned with criminal cases. The Lok Adalat does not have jurisdiction over any matter or case relating to a crime that is not compoundable by any law.
What is the procedure to be followed by Lok Adalat?
The presiding officer of the Lok Adalat will hear the case after the admissions.
We can file an application before High Court seeking urgent disposal of divorce proceedings in Family Court. We have done it earlier and got Order from High Court. You may contact me for this. We can also appear in Family Court replacing Advocate on Record.
Lok Adalat does not have jurisdiction to grant divorce. Only mediation proceedings can be done there in matrimonial issues.

You may approach.....but do not think that any fruitful result will be there. When you file a case in any of the Court then the proceeding of the Court has been started...so if both are agreed for divorce then it can be decided before the Court within very short period.

The Lok Adalats are not able to issue a divorce decree. The divorce procedure would be governed according to the laws applicable to each party based on their religion. Divorce by mutual consent can be granted after a minimum of one year marriage.
