Supreme Court Holds Three-Day Special Lok Adalat to Settle Long-Pending Cases
The Supreme Court of India launched a three-day Special Lok Adalat under the 'Samadhan Samaroh' initiative to amicably resolve long-pending disputes, settling over 400 cases on the first day. This unique exercise involved judges and lawyers jointly mediating cases across various categories, including matrimonial, property, motor accident claims, and tax disputes. The initiative aims to reduce case backlogs by promoting mediation as a voluntary, informal alternative to litigation. Challenges such as a shortage of trained mediators remain, but the campaign has already resolved longstanding cases, emphasizing accessible and speedy justice.
