Which of the following is incorrect as per Section 22C of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 22C(1) of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 allows an application to the Permanent Lok Adalat only before the dispute is brought before any court, so the incorrect statement is "Any party to a dispute may, after the dispute is brought before any court, make an application to the permanent Lok Adalat for the settlement of dispute". The provisos correctly provide that "The permanent Lok Adalat shall not have the jurisdiction in respect of any matter relating to an offence not compoundable under any law" and that "The permanent Lok Adalat shall not have the jurisdiction in a matter where the value of the property in dispute exceeds the pecuniary limit fixed under the Act".
