1CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Alternative Dispute Resolution is an important legal instrument to settle a
dispute in between two parties with the intervention by a third party1. It is an amicable way to
resolve a dispute. Court has certain duties to manage the cases actively. The base of the
process is to solve the dispute and therefore, an active participation of both the parties are
required. It is the duty of the court to encourage the parties in this case. The problematic
issues are needed to be solved at the early stage and separate the trial cases for the summary
disposal. The process of civil case is time worthy in nature. Hence, if the court satisfies, it can
advise the parties to place the case before the alternative resolution. In this case, court can
mention a timetable to control the progression of the case. The main theme of ADR is to
solve a case more promptly without getting involved in a court proceeding2. Therefore, the
duty of the court should ensure the efficient proceeding of the case.
The similar process has been adopted by many countries including United
States of America, Russia, and India etc.
