The concept of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) introduced to the legal field, a new mechanism of conflict resolution that has no legal proceedings. The ADR system was introduced under the Indian laws, to address the underlying issues in dispute resolution, in a speedy and cost-effective manner. Further, this opportunity provides for reducing hostility and restoring peace among the parties. It also incorporates a sense of justice in each individual. These proceedings take place in a highly economic and efficient manner.
Based on the official data of 2006, more than 2, 53, 80,757 cases are pending in courts. With only 15000 judicial officials to address these cases, the Indian judiciary faces the problem of under-staffing and cases that are piling up on a daily basis. In this scenario, ADR has emerged as a boon.
