Volume II Issue II /

THE OUTGROWTH AND PROSPERITY OF THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION MANNER IN INDIA Peuli Chakraborty, Student at The University of Burdwan, West Bengal Download Manuscript ABSTRACT  The conception of Alternative Dispute Resolution is known to be another process, when it comes to concluding the conflicts among the parties. The strait of ADR has turned out to be quite exoteric nowadays owing to the deceleration of the traditional judicial system. As we all are aware of the sedate functioning of the traditional courts, due to the pendency of cases before it. Apart from this, the costly litigation procedure is one of the predominant reasons behind the evocation of the ADR system, especially by the indigent people out there, who cannot really afford the expensive litigation system. On account of these predominant reasons, the assertion of the ADR system is noteworthy in modern times. This research paper strives to read up on the outgrowth of the Alternative Dispute Resolution system in India as well as determine the efficacy and potency of this ADR method, in the form of a substitute to the traditional judicial system, available in India.
