Supreme Court: On 13-5-2025, the outgoing Chief Justice of India, Justice Sanjiv Khanna, inaugurated a new mediation facility with integrated virtual access and children’s room at the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee (SCLSC) premises in the Supreme Court Administrative Buildings Complex. He was joined by CJI designate Justice B.R. Gavai and Justice Surya Kant.
The virtual mediation facility enables parties to participate in the sessions from different locations, ensuring greater flexibility and convenience and thereby furthering Supreme Court’s broader push for technological integration in the judicial process. Furthermore, the mediation facility has been designed to align with the principles of the Mediation Act, 2023.
Additionally, a children’s area has been established to provide a safe and welcoming space for minors involved in family disputes.
