The matters have to be referred to Lok Adalat at the request of one of the parties.
In certain states you can approach Mediation Cells, whose compromise are also binding on the parties.

Dear Querist
Lok Adalat is a system of alternative dispute resolution developed in India. It roughly means "People's court". India has had a long history of resolving disputes through the mediation of village elders. The system of Lok Adalats is an improvement and is based on the principles of Mahatma Gandhi. Lok Adalat is a non-adversarial system, whereby mock courts (called Lok Adalats) are held by the State Authority, District Authority, Supreme Court Legal Services Committee, High Court Legal Services Committee, or Taluk Legal Services Committee. They are held periodically for exercising such jurisdiction as they determine. These are usually presided over by retired judges, social activists, or other members of the legal profession. The Lok Adalats can deal with all Civil Cases, Matrimonial Disputes, Land Disputes, Partition/Property Disputes, Labour Disputes etc., and compoundable criminal Cases.
Yes you can approch the court for lok Adalat or mediation cell for settlement the loan dispute

Nadeen explained it well,
suits pending in Court, can be refereed to Lok Adalat, and if both parties want to settle, it is settled there , with appropriate Order, binding on both the parties.
It is fast, with no court procedure formalities, headed by regular Judges.
It is gaining popularity, as it ends Litigation. No Court no dates after dates, immediate settlement. .
