On 12th September, 2006, a two Judge Bench in State of Punjab & Ors. vs Shri Ganpat Raj [Civil Appeal No.4089 of 2006] while examining the powers of disposal of cases by the Lok Adalat held that “if no compromise or settlement is or could be arrived at, no order can be passed by the Lok Adalat”. Observing that “a compromise is always bilateral and means mutual adjustment” while “settlement” is termination of legal proceedings by mutual consent, the Bench held that inasmuch as “the case at hand did not involve compromise or settlement”, it “could not have been disposed of by Lok Adalat.”
