Yes, you can claim court fees if compromise between the parties arrived in Lok Adalat.

If the petitioner and respondent compromise, then it will be referred to Lok Adalat. However, consult a local advocate for guidance.

Court fee could be reimbursed if the suit is settled through Adalat, Mediation or even outside the Court and compromised memo filed and accepted the Court.
