Which of the following is correct as per Section 22C of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The proviso to section 22C(1) of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 states that the Permanent Lok Adalat "shall not have the jurisdiction in respect of any matter relating to an offence not compoundable under any law".
An application to the Permanent Lok Adalat must be made before the dispute is brought before any court, not after. The value limit is a ceiling on its jurisdiction (raised to one crore rupees in March 2015), not a floor of ten lakh rupees.
