ABSTRACT:
Alternative Dispute Resolution is a kind of technique which acts as a means to resolve the issues between two parties outside the ordinary law courts. The current Judicial System is extremely expensive and delaying. The parties to a dispute have to wait for Justice for years. This lengthy and expensive process of litigation has reduced the faith of common people in the Judicial System being followed by the Courts. Alternative remedies provide cheap and speedy Justice and that is the reason that ADR mechanism is being preferred by the disputing parties for the resolution of their disputes. The approach of judges, lawyers and parties all over the world is changing in favour of adoption of ADR instead of Court litigation. Arbitral institutions provide ADR services for quicker, less costly and consensual resolution of civil disputes outside the crowded court system. ADR promotes communication between the parties and enables them to solve their actual concerns behind the disputes. Many disputes like consumer complaints, family disputes, construction disputes, business disputes can be effectively resolved through ADR. It can be used in almost every kind of dispute which can be filed in a court as a civil dispute. When a civil suit is filed in a court of law, a formal process takes place, which is operated by advocates and managed by the court and the parties are then left to wait for the orders of the Court. The outcome of the case is uncertain. After the decision of the case there can be an appeal or other proceedings which may delay the implementation of the decision of the case.
