CJI wants courts to promote alternative dispute resolution tools

The Hindu  

Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana stressed the need for increasing the use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms like mediation that can change the judicial landscape, bringing justice to millions and settling grievances without protracted legal proceedings. Speaking on the significance of mediation as an ADR mechanism and the need for skilled mediators, Chief Justice urged that an “active effort must be taken by courts to make negotiations and mediation mandatory as part of case management.” He added that with adequate cooperation from all stakeholders, ADR can emerge as a tool of social justice in the country. Listing the benefits of mediation, CJI Ramana said it can reduce pendency, save judicial resources and time, and allow litigants “a degree of control over the dispute resolution process and its outcome.” He called it “one of the most empowering methods of resolving disputes as they maximise the participation of stakeholders.” “Conflicts have a human face. Talking about technology, Justice Ramana said all those engaged in the justice dispensation mechanism including judges, lawyers, law enforcement agencies, and others agencies, need to have a thorough understanding of new and emerging technologies.
