💡 Solution & Explanation
Lok Adalats were accorded formal statutory backing through the Legal Services Authorities Act of 1987, granting their settlement awards the legal standing of civil court decrees. Alternative laws govern civil procedure codes or family courts rather than establishing the nationwide Lok Adalat system. Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are emphasized in judicial administration studies.
