Justice Sandeep Mehta
33 articles
Justice Sandeep Mehta participated in numerous Supreme Court hearings and Lok Adalat proceedings throughout August 2026, primarily focused on resolving appeals and disputes involving various financial and commercial matters. These cases span a range of institutions, including Ultratech Cement, Sunita vs Partek, SAIL, ICICI Bank, Tata Global Beverages, and Syndicate Bank, among others. A recurring theme across these proceedings is the referral of many cases to Special Lok Adalats in an attempt to mediate settlements, though few resulted in resolutions, indicating ongoing legal challenges for these entities. The continued deferral and referral of these cases suggest a protracted legal landscape for these companies, potentially impacting their operational timelines and financial planning.
