Mysuru: Principal District and Sessions Court Judge Ravindra Hegde observed that mediation is absolutely necessary for resolving unresolved disputes, which have remained pending in courts for long.
He was speaking after inaugurating the two-day training workshop for mediators from Mysuru and Chamarajanagar districts, organised by Karnataka State Legal Services Authority, in association with Karnataka Mediation Centre and District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), at the ZP hall here yesterday.
Pointing out that mediators have been playing a key role for long in resolving disputes and litigations, rendering justice to the warring parties, Judge Hegde said, however, this does not mean that the mediators resolve all types of cases.

Regretting that statistics has shown that cases are not resolved on expected lines, he said resolution of disputes within a time frame, will help the Courts in saving valuable time.
