High Court’s Mediation Push: Quicker Justice for Punjab, Haryana
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has launched a comprehensive mediation campaign, aiming to significantly reduce the mounting backlog of cases. The initiative offers litigants a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation.
Cases involving service disputes, matrimonial issues, and a range of other civil matters are eligible for mediation under this new program. Dr. Saini, one example among many, illustrates the potential benefits of this approach.
The High Court hopes this will alleviate the pressure on its judicial system, providing swifter resolution for citizens entangled in lengthy legal processes. This move is seen as a crucial step towards improving access to justice in the region.
The success of this initiative could serve as a model for other High Courts across India grappling with similar challenges of case backlogs and delayed justice. The impact on ordinary citizens, especially those from economically weaker sections, could be transformative.
