Why State-Funded Mediation Is A Reliable Means To An End

Live Law  

Recently, the Chief Justice of India, Justice N V Ramana highlighted the need for mediation to be made a mandatory first step in domestic dispute resolution mechanisms. Typically, court-mandated mediation falls within the greater judicial oversight, as distinguished from lateral mediation centres like the Delhi Dispute Resolution Society. This is corroborated by data published by the DDRS that indicates the pendency of cases has mushroomed over the past few years and grown substantially across its 10 mediation centres between 2009-2018. Statistics released by DDRS show that although located in the heart of the city, and one of the most popular among them, the mediation centre on Parliament Street received 1209 cases out of which 379 were deemed non-fit.Another easily accessible centre located in Nand Nagri received 2163 cases out of which 843 were non-starters. Given the fact that DDRS is fully funded by the Delhi government, selected Delhi government schools could serve as the subordinate mediation centres mentioned above.
