Challenge to Lok Adalat Award - The award passed by a Lok Adalat can be challenged in the High Court under Article 226 or 227 of the Constitution of India. Such challenges typically involve issues like fraud, jurisdiction, or procedural irregularities. Several judgments confirm this, emphasizing that the scope of challenge is limited to the grounds permissible under these Articles K. Arvind Reddy VS M. Sukumar Reddy - Telangana, Gudela Anuradha VS R. V. Satyanarayana Murthy - Andhra Pradesh, Raj Mangal Raut Ramani VS State of Bihar - Patna, Vikas Agrawal VS Usha Singh - Chhattisgarh, Sangluri VS H. Lalhmingmawia - Gauhati, Sakina Sultanali Sunesara (Momin) VS Shia Imami Ismaili Momin Jamat Samaj - Supreme Court, Mohd Hanif VS Mohd Indress - Punjab and Haryana, Vadiga Amose VS Vadiga Anjaneyulu - Andhra Pradesh.
Grounds for Challenge - The primary grounds include fraud, lack of jurisdiction, or procedural violations. Challenges based on fraud are specifically recognized, but courts have held that if the award is obtained through fraud, it can be set aside under Article 227 Raj Mangal Raut Ramani VS State of Bihar - Patna, Sangluri VS H. Lalhmingmawia - Gauhati.
Jurisdictional Limitations - While the Lok Adalat award is generally binding and not appealable under the Legal Services Authorities Act, Section 21(2), it remains open to challenge via writ petitions under Article 226 or 227 in the High Court. The scope of judicial review under Article 227 is limited but includes examining jurisdiction and procedural fairness Sakina Sultanali Sunesara (Momin) VS Shia Imami Ismaili Momin Jamat Samaj - Supreme Court.
Summary - In conclusion, a Lok Adalat award can be challenged under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, especially on grounds like fraud or lack of jurisdiction. However, the challenge is subject to the scope of judicial review, primarily through writ petitions in the High Court, and not through regular appeals K. Arvind Reddy VS M. Sukumar Reddy - Telangana, Gudela Anuradha VS R. V. Satyanarayana Murthy - Andhra Pradesh, Raj Mangal Raut Ramani VS State of Bihar - Patna, Vikas Agrawal VS Usha Singh - Chhattisgarh.
