Introduction to the Course:

Human conflicts are inexorable because society is a multifarious web of social relations. Disputes in the same way are inescapable. They cannot be avoided but an attempt can be made to resolve them speedily and cheaply, so that precious time of the citizens and the courts is not wasted and their money is utilized for development projects. Resolution of disputes is an indispensible component of social tranquility and synchronization. Since primitive era the job of resolving disputes has been done either by authoritative people like kings, queens or tribal chiefs or the community council like the village panchayats or the religious persons like the Qazis. When the state came into being, the court system and legal procedure developed in a formal way. But as the time passed by, the adjudicatory process became mounted by backlog of cases and the faith of the people in the judiciary was shaken up. Consequently, evolution of other alternatives for resolution of disputes became imperative.

This course on Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanism is an attempt to embrace dispute resolution methods and techniques that act as a means for incompatible parties to reach an agreement without resorting to litigation, which is a lengthy and time consuming process.
