The nationwide campaign, spearheaded by the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), in association with the Mediation & Conciliation Project Committee (MCPC), Supreme Court, was conducted from July 1 to September 30 under the guidance of Justice Surya Kant – Judge, Supreme Court, Executive Chairman, NALSA, and Chairman, MCPC, and Chief Justice of India Justice BR Gavai.

In Chandigarh, the UT State Legal Services Authority (UT), under Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Deepak Sibal – Executive Chairman, SLSA UT Chandigarh – conducted special sessions.

Among the settlements was a case filed in 2013, concerning 44 per cent property share. The dispute was amicably resolved, with a party agreeing to execute the sale deed of 50% share of the house. In another case filed in 2016, property partition issue was resolved with portions of the property mutually allotted, bringing closure to a decade-old dispute.

“Mediation not only contributes significantly in reducing the pendency of cases in courts but also plays a vital role in strengthening the social fabric by restoring relationships, fostering harmony and ensuring justice in its true spirit,” Justice Sibal asserted.
