ORDER : 1. Sri.Praveen K Uppar, learned HCGP accepts notice for the respondent. 2. The petitioners are before this Court seeking for the following reliefs: To set aside the order on I.A. dated 02.07.2019 in LAC No.33/2007 passed by the II Additional Senior Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate First Class, Bagalkot and restore the LAC No.33/2007, in the interest of justice and equity. 3. The grievance of the petitioners is that the proceedings in LAC No.33/2007 have been compromised before the Lok-Adalath without the consent of the petitioners inasmuch as the signatures of the petitioners are not found in the compromise petition. 4. It is on that basis Sri.Lingaraj Maradi, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners had never agreed for the compensation which had been fixed in the said proceedings and the petitioners are entitled for just and necessary compensation. 5. In any compromise which is entered into before the Lok-Adalath, it is but necessary that the signatures of the counsel as also the parties are obtained both on the joint memo as also in the order sheet. Since the same has not been done I am left with no other option but to allow the above petition by way of the following: ORDER (i) The *civil revision petition is allowed. Order dated *21.04.2007 passed in LAC No.33/2007 accepting the compromise is set aside. -Corrected vide court order dated 05.12.2022 SD/- JUDGE (ii) The Member Secretary, Karnataka State Legal Services Authority is directed to issue a circular to all the Member Secretaries across the State and to all Members of the Lok-Adalath to ensure that the signatures of both the counsel and the parties are obtained on the joint memo, as also on the order sheet. (iii) While doing so, necessary identification papers of the parties would also be required to be taken on record by the Members of the Lok-Adalath so as to ascertain the identity of the persons appearing before the Lok- Adalath. (iv) The Additional Registrar (Judicial) is directed to circulate a copy of this order to all the Courts and Members of Lok-Adalath.
