Mysuru – Principal District and Sessions Court Judge K.N. Usharani said that the Supreme Court, under the ‘Samadhan Samaroh-2026’ initiative, has convened a Special Lok Adalat across the country from Aug. 21 to 23.
Judge Usharani said that 37 cases from Mysuru district have been listed by the Apex Court, of which two cases have already been settled through mutual agreement in the Court.
She explained that this Special Lok Adalat is applicable only to cases pending before the Supreme Court that are eligible for settlement through mutual consent of the parties. In such cases, Court fees will be refunded and the Lok Adalat order will be final, with no provision for appeal by either party.
Judge Usharani further said that cases taken up under Lok Adalats at the Karnataka High Court and District-level Courts are handled by trained Judicial Services Officers and Mediators.
This process helps build a harmonious relationship between disputing parties and facilitates amicable settlement of cases. The list of eligible cases is published on the website of Karnataka State Legal Services Authority (KSLSA) and Benches are constituted in a phased manner to hear these matters.
She added that parties concerned should visit the Video Conference Centres at their respective Legal Services Authority Offices to resolve cases listed for the Special Lok Adalat. Google Forms have also been made available and can be filled in by parties or advocates on or before July 31.
Senior Civil Judge and District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Member-Secretary Nagaraj Siddappa Ankasadoddi said that if parties are unable to attend physically, video conferencing facilities will be provided to ensure participation and settlement of cases.
