The resolution also places an obligation on arguing counsel. When a matter is taken up for final hearing, counsel will be required to furnish timelines for their oral submissions. This requirement is intended to assist the bench in allocating time efficiently and to ensure that hearings proceed within the allotted schedule.

Furthermore, the full court addressed the mode of appearance for parties‑in‑person during interactions with the Registrar under Order IV Rule 1(c) of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013. Parties‑in‑person will be given the option to appear through virtual mode. Those who insist on appearing physically will be permitted to do so, provided that no live‑streaming or video‑recording of the proceedings takes place.

The constitution of a judicial committee to study cause‑list simplification indicates that the Court intends to monitor the effectiveness of these measures and to consider further reforms if warranted.

The Special Lok Adalat scheduled for late August will serve as the culmination of the Samadhan Samaroh initiative, during which the outcomes of the batch‑matter hearings and the Lok Adalat proceedings are expected to contribute to a reduction in the pendency of cases before the Supreme Court.
