MUMBAI: Everybody must believe in the “culture of settlement” which was advocated even by Mahatma Gandhi, Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra today said after inaugurating the Alternate Dispute Resolution Centre here.
“Great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln, who were lawyers first, advocated and supported the culture of settlement. They advised people to settle instead of litigating. Everybody must believe in the culture of settlement,” CJI Misra said in the Bombay High Court.
The CJI along with Bombay High Court Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated the ADR centre and a creche for lawyers and staff of High Court at the adjacent CTO building in south Mumbai.
“Arbitration has to be cost effective, speedy and impartial. There must be absolute disclosure as mandated in law. The arbitrator or the mediator should show good attitude, sincerity and great respect for the parties concerned,” CJI Misra said. (AGENCIES)
