if the Lok Adalt's decree is fraudulently been taken under section 22 (C) of the Act, you should immediately move to High Court invoking its supervisory jurisdiction. else you will be barred by the time limitation

The scope for appeal of the order/decree passed by lok adalat is very limited and it can only be done for specific grounds and it comes under civil law domain. And since this decree/order is 27 years old so I dont think court will entertain this there is rare chance of it since you have slept over your rights for 27 years.
