Abstract

The judiciary can play an important role in practically executing the arbitration process and in encouraging the litigants to adopt the process of arbitration in a speedy and cost‐effective manner. The legal profession has to accept business and market needs, equip themselves with the knowledge and skills of mediation, and develop professional capacity in the field of ADR as this is a major requirement for modern‐day clients. The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan under Article 37 is mandated to ensure inexpensive and expeditious justice. The use of ADR is defiantly one of the best possible options to resolve disputes expeditiously and restore the confidence of the people in the judicial system. ADR provides an alternative to litigants to settle their disputes by avoiding lengthy, multiple, and cost‐oriented proceedings. ADR has proven to be the best method for resolving disputes so efforts should be made by the Bench and the Bar for referring the matter to ADR as provided in the above laws. Keywords: Alternative Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, Criminal Justice System
