Concept Note:
The most traditional dispute-resolution process of our civil justice system is : litigation and trial with a judge or jury deciding who is right or wrong – where someone wins and someone loses. However, there are many other options available. Mediation, Conciliation and Arbitration – often called ADR or alternative dispute resolution- are the most well-known involved.Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is of great significance at a time when law suits are increasing and courts are facing a vast backlog of cases. The word Alternative can be misinterpreted to imply that something is not right with the present system. The word “Alternative” is therefore a misnomer and has been misunderstood by the Bench and the Bar to the extent that ADR is felt to be substitute for the present legal system and therefore the word “Alternative Dispute Resolution’ or “Effective Dispute Resolution” or “ Adoptive Dispute Resolution” would clearly dispel the doubts and bring about a change in the attitudes of Bench and Bar.
ADR is necessary in the present time especially in India where 30 million cases are reportedly pending. The entire objective of ADR is to bring speedy Justice and to reduce the backlog so that the Judges are free to apply their mind and devote their time to other important cases where there is lack of precedent or for writ petition, Public Interest Litigation and in many criminal cases.
Family Disputes and Matrimonial Arbitrations
The family as the smallest unit of the larger society is often under a recurrent attacks of dissolution, separation and all forms of conflict. The rate of divorce in the world is becoming alarming and geometrical in calculation. It is of a fact that most young marriages ends up in divorce between one to six months of celebration.
The court through the traditional method of litigation is often bedeviled with countless number of matrimonial causes ranging from marriage dissolution, order for nullity of marriage, nullity of a voidable marriage, judicial separation, restitution of conjugal rights, jactitation of marriage etc. But the most astounding thing about all these forms of marriage conflicts is that it is a private family affairs which can best be resolved through Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms. And since conflict is inherent in the development of any society, conflict resolution is equally important to the survival of that society
ADR is becoming a fact of life. Instead of waiting for the case to proceed through the litigation process, people suggest their clients to select mediators or arbitrators to have their case resolved as efficiently and with as little bad blood as possible. In today’s era people can and should seek to make a difference in the working of Judiciary and promoting ADR, especially in Matrimonial and other civil matters. This shall indeed seek to provide them with fair, just and expedient resolutions of their problems.
