Eastern Law House Alternative Dispute Resolution Along with the Gram Nyayalayas Act by Sukumar Ray – 2nd Edition 2020

Description

‘Justice delayed is justice denied’ is the verdict of our apex court which is a milestone of our justice delivery system. But unfortunately a huge number of cases are pending in different courts of our country. There is an urgent need to devise and evolve a new system to provide speedy justice to each person to attain our Constitutional goal. This system is known as the Alternative Dispute Resolution as it provides for settlement of disputes outside the court.

The Arbitration and Conciliation Act has been  amended in 2015 & 2019 and those have received proper treatment in this edition.
