The Supreme Court has settled more than 400 cases on the first day of a three-day Special Lok Adalat being held as part of the “Samadhan Samaroh” initiative.

The cases include matrimonial and property disputes, motor-accident claims, land-acquisition and compensation matters, tax disputes, and service and labour cases pending before the top court.

The Supreme Court said the initiative reflects its continued efforts to promote mediation and other consensual methods of dispute resolution as an important part of the justice-delivery system.

More than 600 cases were listed before 16 Special Lok Adalat benches, with each bench comprising two Apex Court judges and supported by senior advocates, advocates-on-record and other lawyers.

The Special Lok Adalat, which began yesterday, will continue till tomorrow.
