Supreme Court Launches ‘Samadhan Samaroh 2026’ Drive; Special Lok Adalat Scheduled for August
The Voice of Chandigarh
In a major push to promote speedy and amicable dispute resolution, the Supreme Court of India has launched Samadhan Samaroh 2026, a nationwide initiative focused on participative justice and doorstep delivery of legal services.
The campaign, which commenced on April 21, 2026, will culminate in a Special Lok Adalat to be held from August 21 to 23, 2026. The initiative is part of Supreme Court Action for Mediated Adjudication and Disputes Harmonization Across Nation (SAMADHAN SAMAROH) and aims to resolve pending cases through consent-based settlement mechanisms.
The apex court has called upon advocates, litigants, and stakeholders to actively participate in the process. Parties can choose to attend proceedings either physically or virtually through an online platform, ensuring wider accessibility and convenience.
To facilitate participation, the Court has provided an online application system. Interested parties can apply through the Google Form link:

The last date for submission of applications is May 31, 2026.
A dedicated One Stop Centre (War Room) has been established within the Supreme Court complex to assist applicants and provide necessary information. Helpline numbers 011-23112428 and 011-23112528, along with email support at speciallokadalat2026@sci.nic.in, have been made available.
With this initiative, the Supreme Court aims to significantly reduce the pendency of cases and strengthen alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, reinforcing its commitment to efficient and people-centric justice delivery.
