Mediation is a More Effective Way to Resolve Legal Disputes Amicably – Justice Pravin M. Unhale
Nagpur, 21st: Considering the rising number of court cases and the time required for adjudication, a decision reached amicably through mediation proves to be more beneficial for all parties involved. Since both parties consent to the outcome, it offers a positive path forward for resolving strained relationships, stated Justice Pravin M. Unhale, Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority.
He was speaking at a public awareness program organized at the District Court hall under the guidance of Shekhar C. Munghate, Principal District and Sessions Judge and Chairman of the District Legal Services Authority.
Litigants often have to wage legal battles for years, incurring significant financial costs alongside the loss of time. There is no guarantee that the final verdict, obtained after immense effort, will satisfy both parties. However, by opting for mediation—facilitated through mutual dialogue and understanding—disputes can be resolved quickly, cost-effectively, and amicably. He emphasized that mediation plays a vital role in the judicial system.
Retired District Judge R. P. Pandey explained the concept of mediation using various real-life examples.
Senior Advocate and trained mediator Rajendra Rathi shared from his experience that many disputes can be easily resolved through mediation if both parties are willing to communicate and cooperate. Regarding commercial matters, trained mediator and Chartered Accountant Ganeriwal provided guidance on business disputes. He noted that commercial cases often take 10 to 15 years to resolve. For instance, if a sum of ?10 lakh is tied up in litigation and recovered after 15 years, the real value of that money has significantly depreciated; furthermore, there is a risk that the concerned person's business might have shut down during that period. Therefore, reaching an immediate resolution through mediation not only averts financial loss but also keeps the doors open for future business relationships and progress.
A question-and-answer session was organized for students and lawyers during the event. Satisfactory answers were provided to the various practical questions regarding mediation raised by the attendees. Adv. Unnati Bobde anchored the program and proposed the vote of thanks.
