17th July 2021Mediation as first step on conflict resolution is need of hour, says CJI Ramana
Chief Justice of India (CJI) Nuthalapati Venkata Ramana on Saturday said the need and time has come for India to enter into 'mission mode' and prescribed mediation as a 'mandatory first step for resolution of every dispute' for settling cases between parties.
"Given the growing scope of mediation, it is time for India to enter mission mode. To popularise mediation as a cheaper and faster dispute resolution mechanism, a movement needs to be launched. Prescribing mediation as a mandatory first step for resolution of every allowable dispute will go a long way in promoting mediation," the CJI said, while addressing the inaugural India-Singapore Mediation Summit (ISMS, 2021), Making Mediation Mainstream: Reflections from India and Singapore, event through virtual mode.
Chief Justice N.V. Ramana was speaking at the India - Singapore Mediation Summit 2021, organised by Singapore International Mediation Centre (SIMC), in strategic partnership with CAMP Mediation, and Mediation Mantras.
