Justice Augustine George Masih

Justice Augustine George Masih consistently presided over multiple Supreme Court Lok Adalat hearings throughout August and into early September 2026, primarily involving appeals and petitions against insurance companies like NICL, Oriental Insurance, United India Insurance, and IFFCO Tokio. A recurring theme across these cases is the lack of settlement reached between parties, with matters repeatedly listed for further hearing. Several petitions also sought condonation of filing delays and exemptions from procedural requirements, highlighting ongoing efforts to navigate complex legal processes within the Supreme Court system. The court frequently directed parties toward mediation, though success in reaching settlements has been limited thus far, suggesting a potentially protracted resolution for these disputes.
