Anyone, or more of the parties to a dispute can move an application to the court where their matter may be pending, or even at pre-litigative stage, for such matter being taken up in the Lok Adalat whereupon the Lok Adalat Bench constituted for the purpose shall attempt to resolve the dispute by helping the parties to arrive at an amicable solution and once it is successful in doing so, the award passed by it shall be final which has as much force as a decree of a Civil Court obtained after due contest.

Mr sanjeev has given right suggestion Lok adalat is not a court where a case will be filed The suit will be instituted in competent court of civil jurisdiction and during the pendency of case if all concerned parties agreed to list the case in lok adalat the civil court will refer the case to lok adalat as such It is advise to you first to file civil suit in the proper court.

First you approach the concerned District Lok Adalat Secretary of your distict i.e. Vishaapatnam, who will be mostly in al court the Senior Civil Judge, will be the Secretary of your district i.e. District Legal Service Committee. If you want to file your case you can approach the HOn'ble High Court legal services authority also by sending all the papers alongwith the letter and also there are Pre Litigation Cases entertained by all the courts kindly check whether is there any such provision with the District Legal Services Authority, at Vishakapatnam.

2.Is there any period for lokadalt to conduct.
3.what should i do if i want to speed up mycase to be resolved through lok adalat

in my opinion no matter can be reffered to Lok Adalat without the consent of both the parties.
even if it is reffered, Lok Adalat can not force any decision upon u...Lok Adalat is nothing but a mediation centre, where the parties are given assistance to get the matter resolved mutually without following the complex procedure of law.
Lok Adalat never decides nor they have any jurisdiction to do so...u may not attend the Lok Adalat proceedings, it wont invite either exparte order or contempt of court.
but once to agree upon an issue in Lok Adalat and sign the agreement then that will be binding upon u and will be non appelable also unless illegal or is an outcome of fraud.
pls approach some local lawyer who can guide u efficaciously.
