With temples of justice across the country flooded with an ocean of pending cases, it is time for us to seriously invoke and wholeheartedly promote alternative methods of dispute resolution.
No stone should be left unturned to reach a possible settlement by arbitration, conciliation, mediation or a judicial settlement through Lok Adalat. It would also be appropriate to see night courts take off to clear the backlog that remains in spite of all broad daylight efforts. Why not sit with your adversary and discuss the issue over a cup of coffee or a chilled beer if that helps to come to a legally valid settlement. With so much rage and enthusiasm to litigate one wonders what has happened to the village elders of yester years, who through their father figure role, aborted and prevented so many possible litigations.
