Speakers say mechanism of providing justice through ADRC is gaining popularity

KHANEWAL: The Alternative Dispute Resolution Centre (ADRC) has so far resolved 100 cases through negotiated settlements and without going into the lengthy process of litigation in the district.

This was said by ADRC Civil Judge Hafiz Muhammad Saleem Tahir and Senior Civil Judge (Admin) Muhammad Zubair Ghauri while addressing a seminar titled “Importance of ADRCs and Role of Civil Society.”

The event was organised by an Non-Government Organisation 'Strengthening Participatory Organisation' the other day.



They said that a total of 185 cases were brought to the ADRC with the consent of both parties and 100 cases had been resolved, while the rest were in the process.

The department would continue to make untiring efforts to provide justice to the people through ADRC, a facility that enables litigants get their cases decided speedily without hiring a lawyer or going into the lengthy process of litigation, they added.

They pledged to extend full support to local body representatives, civil society forums and reconciliation committees to remove hurdles in the way of dispensation of justice to the people.
