The Mediation Bill, 2021
Mediation is a process whereby a third party facilitates the settlement of a dispute between two
parties or groups and helps them come to an agreement. With reforms in the Judicial system of
India, mediation has come to play an active role in addressing the long delays in the resolution of
disputes. It has long been seen as an effective alternative dispute resolution mechanism due to
the consensual nature of the process. Subsequently, Mediation Centers were established in court
complexes across India to provide an option to the parties to amicably settle their disputes,
wherever possible.
