The Supreme Court's Samadhan Samaroh 2026 concluded on August 23, with 1,712 cases resolved or settled through the Special Lok Adalat held at the court premises. The three-day exercise, which began on April 21, aimed to promote consensual dispute resolution and reduce pendency in cases that could be resolved amicably. A total of 3,285 cases were listed during the three-day period, with 1,664 settled or disposed of through Lok Adalat and 48 cases resolved through mediation.

The initiative, called Supreme Court Action for Mediated Adjudication and Disputes Harmonization Across Nation (SAMADHAN), involved senior judges, advocates, and officials of the Supreme Court Registry, who assisted in identifying and resolving pending cases through settlement. The exercise resulted in the settlement of ₹240.94 crore in cases, including matrimonial, property, motor accident, land acquisition, tax, and service and labour disputes.
