Justice Nagarathna Advocates Integrating ADR and Adjudication to Resolve Family Disputes
Supreme Court judge B.V. Nagarathna emphasized integrating alternative dispute resolution (ADR) with court adjudication to address family disputes more effectively. Speaking at a regional conference in Guwahati, she highlighted that ADR offers speed, privacy, and confidentiality, complementing courts rather than replacing them. Nagarathna cautioned that mediation may harm women facing violence or power imbalances and stressed that delays in litigation exacerbate familial inequalities. She proposed strategic ADR use to reduce case backlogs while ensuring just outcomes and protecting parties' dignity.
