Don't you want settlement of your loan case? If lok adalat has summoned you, must attend the proceedings to avoid any serious action.

Under Legal Services Authorities Act Lok Adalat has power to issue summons if one of the parties say a bank or borrower approaches it for amicable settlement of Housing loan the lok Adalat issues summons to the other party and with his consent settle the loan permanently between both the parties and issues a decree which is equivalent to a civil court decree and is binding on both the parties. The Lok Adalat settles the loan between the consenting parties in a jiffy.For further information on this issue please click the following link. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/money-and-banking/lok-adalats-to-help-banks-nbfcs-recover-loans/article5372578.ece

It seems the case was referred to Lok Adalat, but later Bank felt that as in the housing loan adequate collateral security exist, no need of settlement and it would be able to recover full amount otherwise. If both party do not agree, case may not be settled at Lok Adalat.
