Lok Adalats (people’s courts) settle dispute through conciliation and compromise. The First Lok Adalat was held in Una city in Junagarh district of Gujarat in 1982. Generally, Lok Adalat accepts the cases pending in the regular courts within their jurisdiction which could be settled by conciliation and compromise. The decision of the Lok Adalat is binding on the parties to the dispute and its order is capable of execution through legal process. No appeal lies against the order of the Lok Adalat.

 

Q-National treatment (NT) is an important policy of WTO.  What does NT mean?

 

1. All countries must not discriminate between imported and domestic product
   B. WTO members must not discriminate between imported and domestic product
   C.   Exported products of a WTO member state must not be discriminate by other members’ via-a-vis domestic products
   D.  Both B and C

 Solution – D

Statement b and c essentially implies the same thing, though they are differently worded. National treatment: Treating foreigners and locals equally – Imported and locally-produced goods should be treated equally — at least after the foreign goods have entered the market. The same should apply to foreign and domestic services, and to foreign and local trademarks, copyrights and patents. National treatment only applies once a product, service or item of intellectual property has entered the market. Therefore, charging customs duty on an import is not a violation of national treatment even if locally-produced products are not charged an equivalent tax.
