A permanent Lok Adalat shall take cognizance of any

Verified Answer
A. matter relating to an offence not compoundable under any law
B. matter relating to an offence compoundable under any law
C. public utility service related matter where the value of the property in dispute exceeds 10 lakh rupees
D. matter referred to it by the District Judge

Explanation:

Section 22C of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, specifies that Permanent Lok Adalats have jurisdiction over disputes relating to any public utility service. However, the proviso states that the Permanent Lok Adalat shall have jurisdiction only if the value of the property in dispute *does not exceed* ten lakh rupees. The option states 'exceeds 10 lakh rupees', which is technically incorrect as per the Act. Assuming there's a typo in the question or option and the intent was to identify 'public utility service related matter' as the correct type of matter, this option is chosen. If strictly interpreted, none of the options are perfectly correct as written, but 'public utility service related matter' is the specific domain of Permanent Lok Adalats.
