| Abstract: | Abstract - India’s justice system has long struggled with the twin challenges of delay and inaccessibility. Court dockets remain heavy, and for many citizens, the idea of “speedy justice” still feels aspirational. Over the past few decades, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms—arbitration, mediation, conciliation, Lok Adalats, and more recently, online dispute resolution (ODR)—have emerged as ways to ease this burden. This paper offers a balanced discussion of how these mechanisms function within India’s legal framework, how courts have responded, and what their future may look like. Rather than treating ADR as a perfect substitute for litigation, the discussion recognises its uneven practice and the socio-legal realities that shape outcomes. The study draws on legislation such as the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 and the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, as well as major decisions like BALCO (2012), Afcons (2010), and Ssanyong (2019). It also reflects on recent initiatives—such as the government’s ODR portal for MSMEs and new judicial interpretations of digital arbitration agreements—that show both progress and hesitation in India’s ADR journey. The paper argues that ADR is not a panacea but a necessary complement to the formal system. Strengthening institutional standards, improving awareness, and ensuring equitable access will be key to making ADR a dependable pillar of justice in India. |
