Explanation

Lok Adalats function on the basis of mutual consent and voluntary compromise between disputing parties, and they act as alternative dispute resolution or para-judicial bodies. However, they are constituted by legal services authorities (such as the State Legal Services Authority or District Authority), not directly by the High Court itself. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
