you can stand and object, saying you do not consent and do not want to compound. there  is no compounding being done.  it cannot be compounded by force and if the sections applied are non compoundable, it cannot  be compounded without the intervention  of the High Court. you have not mentioned the sections under which FIR is lodged. primarily if the sections are non compoundable, it cannot be sent to lok adalat.

Hello,

You an application for further direction in the writ petition that was decided by the HC and ask for a direction that the investigation be done by some third party since the police officials are not doing free and fair investigation. You may also file a fresh writ petition with the same prayer.

Too lengthy query.

Sad to note that despite engaging a counsel you didn't get remedy.

I have to understand by going through the FIR and orders passed by the court.

Plan to meet me.

I am available to take calls after 14.30hrs daily. 

My number is available in google .

You need to file a writ petition as there is no appeal from Lok Adalat

1) The Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, says, "Every award made by a Lok Adalat shall be final and binding on all the parties to the dispute, and no appeal shall lie to any court against the award."

 

2) There is no restriction on the power of the Lok Adalat to pass an award based on the compromise arrived at between the parties in respect of cases referred to by various courts (both civil and criminal), tribunals, family courts, rent control courts, Consumer Redressal Forum, Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal and other forums of similar nature."

 

3) you can file writ in the HC against award of Lok adalat

1) According to a court case, RTI applicants can directly approach the SIC or CIC, as in case maybe, and lodge a complaint if they do not get a response from the PIO within 30 days. 

2) Though decision of lok adalat is final and binding upon the parties to the dispute/case, but Lok adalat's decision is also challengable, but only on the ground of 'fraud' . On the other hand, award of a 'Permanent lok adalat' can be challenged by way of Writ petition before concerned high court.

You will be summoned by lok adalat for inquiry and asked to sign a compromise, you can refuse to sign and even refuse to accept the lok adlat mediation and inform the lok adalat to revert the matter to regular court where you can explain the circumstances and seek justice.
