1. The order of Lok Adalat is binding and cannot be challenged. Your neighbour and MCD are trying to circumvent the award of lok adalat. You should challenge the decision of MCD in the High Court.

2. Furthermore, unless the first appeal is withdrawn the second cannot be filed.

3. Once you have impleaded yourself as a party you have the right to obtain certified copies of every document on the file. If you have been disallowed then the remedy is again before the High Court.

1. Whether Lok Adalat settlement is binding on the MCD Appellate Tribunal or not? If Applicable then why the Appeal application of my neighbor is not dismissed by the MCD Apellate Tribunal ?

The circumstances and the reasons given by the appellate tribunal for not entertaining your application seeking dismissal is very clear hence you may have to fight it out on that grounds only on the basis of of merits in your side.Since you have already impleaded yourself as a party to the appeal, fight it out on the basis of the lok adalat order in your favor.

2.Suppose if the Appeal application is settled in favor of my neighbor in the MCD Apellate Tribunal then the demolition will not take place and it is against the Lok Adalat Decree.

So, which one of the order (Lok Adalat / MCD Appellate Tribunal) can be implemented by the MCD Authorities?

The appeal is totally a different subject to that of the award granted by lok adalat.

Since he has not obtained stay of the lok adalat order for demolition, you can file a execution petition to execute the order of the lok adalat simultaneously, let him challenge that order in his present appeal, his entire case shall stand infructuous based on his recognition of the lok adalat order on the same subject namely demolition. Tricky situation, but you also have to adopt cleverly planned strategies in this regard to counter him at different place.

. 3. Can anyone file two concurrent Appeal in the MCD Apellate Tribunal against the demolition for the same property? Before withdrawal of the first appeal, the second one was already filed.

He may project that both are of different cause of action hence maintainable.

4. Can I get the Appeal application & other documents of the neighbor etc from the MCD Tribunal since I have filed an application under order 1 Rule 10 (2) Read with section 151 of CPC for adding my name as a party? The Registrar refuses to give the certified copies stating that I am not a party in the Appeal but only assisting the court under under order 1 Rule 10 (2) Read with section 151 of CPC.

You should amend the prayer from assisting to necessary party to the appeal in the petition filed to implead yo as a party to the appeal.

You can file a copy application seeking certified xerox copies, it cannot be refused since your vakalat has been recorded in the file.

5. My neighbor and MCD has concealed the information of Lok Adalat Decree in the MCD Apellate tribunal since I had inspected the file. Does it not amount to contempt of court if the order of the Lok Adalat is not stated in their Appeal Application or in the MCD's statement filed with the Tribunal?

It will not be contempt of court because it is not necessary for him to bring the facts of lok adalat order before this court while he is seeking some other relief against MCD.

6. MCD and my neighbor has concealed lot of information in the MCD Apellate tribunal that came to my notice during the inspection of the file. But I am refused by the registrar to take the certified copies.

So, under order 1 Rule 10 (2) Read with section 151 of CPC what are all I can get from the case file?

Once you get yourself impleaded as party to the case, you will be entitled for certified copies by applying for the same, you may first file vakalat and enter appearance and after that apply for certified copies, the court cannot refuse supply of copies.

8. What is the action to be taken against MCD and neighbor over the concealment of information to the Tribunal?

First you get into the case and then contest the case as per the evidences and merits in your side.

Lok Adalat verdict is final and not changeable. NO appeal lies against lok adalat verdict or orders. It seems your neighbor file said appeal technically on the of the MCD and showing different cause of action. You rightly filed petition for implead you as a party and once you impleaded as a party you the matter involved is one and same . Lok Adalat orders will be effectual than hte orders of MCD appellant tribunal. he must have file appeal along with affidavit by swearing you have obtain certified copies of same and can initiate action for deposing falsely and diverting the attention of the court
