In a landmark judgment delivered by the Hon’ble High Court of
Karnataka speaking through his Lordship, Hon’ble Mr. Justice Suraj Govindaraj, has held:-

1.Merely because a party is not willing to participate in the proceedings before the Mediation Centre or Lok Adalat the same will not be a ground for refusal of reference of the matter to the Mediation Centre or Lok Adalat.

2. The Court has the power to direct a party to appear before the mediator, in the event of a court finding that a part is absenting himself before the mediator without sufficient reason, costs, could be imposed on such a party.

3. The Court would necessarily have to provide for 60 days time for effective Mediation. While referring the matter to Mediation, the Court would also have to take cognisance of the time for commencement of Mediation to the return of the file back from the Mediation Centre to the Court.

4. The time period of 60 days would commence only from the time of first appearance before the mediator. It is not that the said 60 days is sacrosanct, there can be an extension of the period of 60 days. Rule 18 of the Mediation Rules, 2005 also provides for all Court to either Suo moto or upon request of the mediator or any of the parties to extend the period of time by another 30 days but not beyond a period of 30 days. Once again the period of 30 days is to be calculated from the date of appearance of the parties before the mediator upon the extension of time.

5. The Court could also take into consideration the request of the mediator to extend time since it is the mediator who is the best suited to opine as to whether the matter could be settled or there may be a possibility of settlement if the time period is extended.

6. The Court could also take into consideration the request of any of the parties to the proceedings which would not require for all the parties to make a request but even if one of the parties were to make a request for extension of time, the Court would be bound to extend the time period for mediation be a period of 30 days. Reasons to be recorded by the Court as to why the matter is not being referred to Mediation or the time not being extended

7. In view of the decision in Afcon’s case, any Court exercising powers under Section 89 of CPC would have to invariably rather mandatorily refer all matters to the mediation except those excluded in para 27 of Afcon’s case.

8. The reference to be made to BMC, Mediation Centres established by KSLA, the permanent Lok-Adalat, as also Lok Adalat’s held from time to time depending on the choice of the parties and the Courts’ opinions to which would be the appropriate forum.

Welcome to the age of Digital Jurisprudence.

The future of Indian litigation.

We at thiru & thiru have always been well ahead of time in adopting technology to serve our clients in an efficient manner. Having introduced data processors and e-typing in the early 80s, pioneered in using the fax modem, to transfer data to our counterparts in the USA and Europe, digitalised records & journals creating our private data base & search engine and also developed a case management software, the first of its kind in India all during the year 1990-1991. In 1995, we assisted foreign law firms in drafting patent applications and this practice was later on known as Legal Process Outsourcing.

We, led by Mr. Thiruvengadam Bc have been continuously appearing online, before Courts, Tribunals, Arbitration’s & Mediations across India and internationally. Working hand in hand with technology has proven to be useful not only to lawyers but also to clients.

However, let us remember there is still a digital divide.
