The justice delivery system is the backbone of any democratic society. However, traditional court-based litigation has increasingly struggled to cope with the growing number of civil disputes. The increasing burden of civil litigation has revealed significant shortcomings in traditional court-based dispute resolution, particularly with respect to delay, cost, and procedural rigidity. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has therefore emerged as an effective mechanism for resolving civil disputes outside conventional judicial forums. ADR comprises various consensual and adjudicatory processes, including negotiation, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and Lok Adalats.
