· Introduction
Arbitration refers to dispute resolution is it is a sort of private judicial determination of a given dispute usually by an independent third party. It can involve independent arbitrators or a tribunal that has any given number of arbitrators although in some legal systems, recommend that arbitrators be of an odd number so that they cannot tie. The parties that are disputing normally hand their powers to the arbitrators who should decide on dispute. In one hand, arbitration can be an alternative to a court action. It is also wise to note that arbitration process is so binding. The main aim of arbitrating is to get just and fair resolution of disputes by a third party who are impartial with no delay or much expense. The parties that are involved in a dispute also have to agree on the process of the dispute resolution and courts are not allowed to interfere. These are some principles of arbitration.
Negotiation on the other hand is a dialogue between two or more parties or individuals with the intention of reaching a beneficial outcome on any dispute or conflict(Derains & Schwartz, 2015). In negotiation, the parties should allow each other enough opportunities to be heard so that the conflict can be solved peacefully without involving the courts.

Microstructure Analysis of Inlet and Exhaust Valves used in LPG fueled Retrof...IJMER
Mechanically operated poppet valves are used, both as inlet and exhaust, for most conventional
automotive engines in passenger cars. These valves are subjected to high temperatures throughout their operating
cycle. A valve originally designed for a gasoline engine, when used for an LPG fueled retrofitted engine, goes
through considerable mechanical damage, corrosion, erosion, wear and tear. It also demonstrates significant
changes in its microstructure. This investigation focused on microstructure analysis and quantitative metallography
of such inlet and exhaust valves using Atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique. The surface morphology of the
valve material was studied and AFM measurements were used for quantitative characterization of the structure as

Constitutional validity of Death Penalty or Capital punishment in India.pdfFree Law - by De Jure
In the Supreme Court of India, the Constitutional validity of the death penalty was challenged many times in different ways. Among different nations in the world, India is one of the nations that have neither totally abolished the death penalty nor passed legislation that may highlight the validity or legality of death penalty or capital punishment. In India, death penalty is awarded on the grounds of rarest of rare doctrine. In 1973, the death penalty was firstly challenged in India in the case of Jagmohan Singh v. State of Uttar Pradesh. The judgment and order came before the re-enactment of the CrPC in 1973 whereby the death sentence was determined as an exceptional sentence. In this case, the validity of capital punishment was addressed on the basis that it infringed Articles 19 and 21 of the Indian Constitution. The Supreme Court held that “the choice of death sentence is done by the procedure established by law.” Moreover, during the hearing of the case, it was determined that the top Court decides between a life sentence and a death sentence based on different facts, type of crime, idea of the wrongdoing and circumstances presented before the Court during trial. While delivering the order and judgment on hideous crimes, there is an evolution in the top Court’s views that raises various questions in association with existing judgments.
A document or a piece of paper that guarantees payment of a certain amount of money to a specified person (payee) either immediately upon demand or at a predetermined period is known as a negotiable instrument. It is a document made up of a contract that ensures unconditional payment of money that can be paid now or later. In other words, any document that grants ownership over a quantum of money as well as can be transferred by delivery is addressed as a negotiable instrument. To govern the use of negotiable instruments in India, the Negotiable Instrument Act of 1881 was defined. On March 1, 1881, the Act of 1881, came into force and extends to the whole of India. It is “An Act to define and amend the law relating to Promissory Notes, Bills of Exchange and Cheques.” The Negotiable Instrument Act consists of a total of 147 Sections that are spread over 17 chapters. As per the Negotiable Instrument Act of 1881, no phrase appropriately defines ‘negotiable instrument’ whereas Section 13 of the Act states that “A negotiable instrument means a promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque payable either to order or to bearer.”

Child In Conflict With Law Under Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act 2...Free Law - by De Jure
Children are one of the most valued assets of the future generation who are required to be protected. Recently, there is an unprecedented increase in the juvenile crime rate. This is due to many changes such as behavioral change, lack of education, subjugation, upbringing environment, harassment, lack of parental care, sexual indulgence, violent treatment, poverty, and the advent of modern lifestyle.

However, children below 7 years of age cannot be held criminally responsible for an offence because of a lack of understandability and are known as “Doli Incapax Maxim”.

Justice nowadays essentially refers to the acceptance and application of legislatively enacted laws. Furthermore, unlike ancient states, this function is mostly performed by judicial organs in the present environment.
The creation of tribunals was prompted by the need to resolve the situation brought on by the backlog of cases in various Courts, as well as by the necessity to lessen the workload of courts and speed up judgements.
We have often heard about bank frauds, corruption, fabrication of documents, and evasion of taxes, such Crimes cause harm to the economy of the country or threaten a country's economy, ultimately hurting the society. Well, these are what we call white-collar crimes.
Having secured a job, an individual aspires for a better life, a comfortable home, health care, and a pension to take them easily through retirement blues. Key to lead the life out of retirement blues is pension planning for which the savings through Employees’ Provident Funds are important.
The fourth pillar of a democratic country, which we refer to as the media, is the most effective and significant source of information for the general public. TV channels are the fastest and most efficient means of publishing and disseminating news, however this method has recently been surpassed by a competitive market in the media broadcasting sector. As communication technology advanced and public interest in huge, diverse TV channels increased, the industry for Indian broadcasting media became more competitive.
The general maxim "necessity recognizes no law" and "it is the main obligation of man to first aid himself" serve as the foundation for the right of self-defence. Self-preservation is a human trait that, in all practical terms, he shares with every other creature. The first rule of criminal law is self-help. The right to private defence is a significant one, and it is primarily preventive rather than punitive in character. If state assistance is not available, it is nonetheless accessible despite hostility. The right of private defence is purely preventive and not punitive or retributive. Every person in India has the legal right to self-defence of body and property under the penal code outlined nation governing the right to private defence of person and property outlined in Sections 96 to 106. Private defence is a right for everyone.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

A Critical Examination of the Mediation Bill, 2021_ India's Dispute Resolution Future.pdf
1. A Critical Examination of the Mediation
Bill, 2021: India's Dispute Resolution
Future
Mediation is an example of ADR. ADR, or Alternate Dispute Resolution, refers to methods
for resolving disagreements between people that do not include a formal trial. ADR
processes are less formal than typical court proceedings and help to save money while
obtaining quick results.
Mediation is a method of settling disagreements with the assistance of a neutral third party
who, while leading the process, assists the disputed parties in reaching an agreement. It is a
voluntary approach that does not impose a solution but rather offers a conducive
environment for disputing parties to come to an agreement.

This third, impartial party is referred to as a mediator, who is not a judge but rather a
facilitator who assists the parties in finding common ground and communicating. And, if
agreed upon, the mediator's decision can be binding on the parties, just like a court ruling.
Mediation, as a kind of ADR, is not a new concept in India; it has been practiced for
centuries. Previously, informal panchayats were employed to settle disputes between two
sides, with the village chief or the old acting as mediators.
This gained popularity after Lok Adalats were reintroduced into our nation's judicial system,
with their verdicts given the same weight as those of a civil court. The Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, enacted in 1996, established precise definitions and established a
streamlined set of norms in this regard.
Why Is A Mediation Bill Required?
As of August 2, 2022, the Supreme Court of India has 71,411 pending cases, of which
56,365 were civil cases and 15,076 were criminal cases. As of July 29 of this year,
59,55,907 cases were pending in 25 High Courts across the country. Backlogs in
subordinate courts total 4.13 crores.
2. This demonstrates the overcrowding in the Indian judicial system, which is exacerbated by a
shortage of judges, flexible procedures, and resources. India still has a long way to go in
order to clear its backlog of cases.
As a result, in order to address the problem of arrears and delays, ADR, and notably
Mediation, become critical, and it becomes necessary to bring it within certain legislative
boundaries. Mediation was previously governed by the Code of Civil Procedure or the
regulations established by mediation institutes of several High Courts.
However, the federal government has already presented a draft mediation bill with the goal
of institutionalizing and formalizing the mediation process in India. With the passage of the
bill, mediation may become more popular as a means of obtaining prompt and enforceable
remedies in a structured informal framework in which the parties play an active role. As a
result, this bill is critical.
The measure has not yet been passed and is currently being referred by the Parliamentary
Standing Committee on Law and Justice, which has recommended certain important
revisions in the bill. The bill's passage is eagerly anticipated, and it will usher in a new era of
conflict resolution in the country.
Current Situation
At the moment, mediation in India could be:
Referred to the Court (under Code of Civil Procedure, 1908)
Private (under a contract) (under a contract)
According to the provisions of a certain statute (for example, the Companies Act, 2013 or the
Consumer Protection Act, 2019), these services are supplied by private ADR centers or
centers established by the respective courts or tribunals.
3. This is referred to as court-annexed mediation. Also, in the 129th report of the Law
Commission of India, it was proposed to make it mandatory for the Court to send conflicts to
mediation for resolution. It was mentioned in the landmark 2010 case of Afcons Below Ltd. v.
M/s Cherian Varkey Constructions.
Another major ruling came from the Supreme Court in 2013 in the case of B.S. Krishna
Murthy v. B.S. Nagraj 5, in which it authorized the family court to submit matters involving
maintenance, custody, and other issues to mediation with the cooperation of the parties. One
of the most well-known cases resolved through mediation was the takeover of MTN, the
South African telecom company, by Mukesh and Anil Dhirubhai Ambani.
The Bill's Key Features
Bill Implementation:
The provisions of this law would apply to mediation proceedings held in India if and only if
the following conditions were met:
Only domestic parties are involved, which means that all parties live or are incorporated in
India.
The issue is commercial in nature, and at least one of the parties is from another country.
If it is mentioned in the mediation agreement that the procedures will be conducted in
accordance with this bill,
If the central or state government is a party to the bill, it will apply in the following
circumstances:
It's a business conflict.
Other notified conflicts
4. Mediation Before Litigation:
Before addressing any tribunal or filing any suit in court, the parties in conflict must take
steps to settle their issue, whether commercial or civil, by resorting to pre-litigation
mediation, even if a mediation agreement does not exist. Though the parties wish it, the
court or tribunal might refer them to a mediation proceeding even if they were unable to
resolve through pre-litigation mediation.
Mediators are appointed:
Unless otherwise agreed, the mediators can be appointed by the parties and of any
nationality, provided that the foreign mediator has the requisite qualifications that may be
specified in domestic regulations. The mediator can also be appointed by any institution that
provides mediation services, subject to the person's acceptance. In the event of a conflict of
interest or doubt, the parties have the option of replacing the mediators. The bill also
specifies the procedures and procedures to be followed in order to terminate or replace a
mediator's mandate.
Proceeding with Mediation:
The mediation proceedings must be concluded within 180 days (may be extended by the
parties for 180 days). These procedures must be kept private. Furthermore, after two
sessions, the parties may choose to withdraw from this process. Mediation annexed by a
court must be done within the limitations of the court's guidelines and within their territorial
authority. The mediator shall determine the language(s) to be used during this procedure
with the parties' cooperation. The mediator is not bound by the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 or
the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (5 of 1908) (1 of 1872).
Agreement Reached Through Mediation:
Agreements reached through mediation and formally signed by the mediator and the parties
in dispute are binding and enforceable in law, much like court judgements. Subject to section
29, it shall be enforced in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure,
1908, in the same manner as if it were a judgment and/or decree passed by a court, and
may accordingly be relied on by any of the parties or persons claiming through them, as a
defense, set off, or otherwise in any legal proceedings. If any party wishes to challenge the
5. mediated settlement agreement, they may do so in court or before a body with competent
authority on the following grounds:
Fraud;
Corruption;
Gross immorality;
Impersonation.
Unless otherwise agreed, all fees, including the cost of the mediation service provider,
mediator's fee, and so on, must be shared equally by both parties.
Online Dispute Resolution:
Online mediation refers to the use of computer programs and networks to conduct mediation
procedures, including pre-litigation mediation, as defined in this act, via secure rooms,
encrypted e-mail services, and audio and video conferencing. This must be done in
accordance with the Information Technology Act of 2000. With the parties' cooperation,
online mediation can be used entirely or partially. This must be accomplished by taking all
necessary precautions to ensure the secrecy and integrity of the proceedings. This must be
communicated in accordance with the IT Act of 2000 requirements.
India's Mediation Council:
Through publication in the Official Gazette, the federal government must establish an
organization to be known as the Mediation Council of India, to achieve the purposes of this
law, which would perform the tasks and duties described in the bill. The council must be a
body corporate with the same name, with a common seal, perpetual succession, the right to
withhold or dispose of property (immovable and movable), and the ability to engage into
contracts.
The council must comprise a chairperson, two full-time members with mediation and ADR
experience, three ex-officio members, including the Law Secretary and the Expenditure
Secretary, and one part-time member. The Council's functions will include registering
6. mediators, developing norms and guidelines, promoting local and international mediation in
India, recognizing mediation service providers and institutes, and so on.
Providers of mediation services and mediation institutes:
According to the requirements of this bill, the mediation service providers recognized by the
council must be rated in accordance with the Council's regulations. The service providers
can execute the following functions: a) Maintaining and credentialing a panel of mediators. b)
Offering mediator services to facilitate mediation. b) Providing infrastructural and other
associated assistance in order to carry out the mediation proceedings. d) Registering and
filing the mediated settlement agreement in accordance with the provisions of this bill. The
council shall also recognize Mediation Institutes, which shall operate in accordance with the
Council's regulations.
Mediation in the Community:
Community Mediation can be used to mediate disputes that are likely to harm/affect the
peace and harmony of the local families or people. This must be done through a panel of
three mediators, which may include representatives from resident welfare organisations, a
well-known local figure, or anybody else judged acceptable. The District Magistrate or
Sub-Divisional Magistrate can form a panel to facilitate the binding settlement of a communal
dispute for which an application has been filed by either party.
Fund for Mediation:
The Mediation Council must establish a fund called the "Mediation Fund" for the purpose of
promoting, supporting, and facilitating mediation in our country. The grants granted by the
Central and State governments, the amount deposited by others to contribute to this, the
interest earned on investments made from this, and any other resources received must be
credited to the fund. The accounts of the Mediation Council will be audited by the
Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
7. Important Points:
Mediation, unlike arbitration or litigation, is a voluntary dispute resolution method with the
permission of the parties that does not entail their judgement. Pre-litigation mediation for
commercial and civil issues is mandated by the Mediation Draft Bill. This defeats the
objective of mediation, which is mostly a voluntary process. If the parties are hesitant to
mediate, it may potentially cause more delay in the resolution of the issue.
The Bill also requires that the mediators who preside over the proceedings be registered
with the Mediation Council of India, a recognized mediation service provider chosen by a
Court-annexed mediation center, and a Legal Service Authority. The requirement to register
them at all four locations complicates and redundantizes the process.
The Draft Bill does not state whether a Mediation Service Provider may be a corporation.
The Bill states that the majority of the Council's activities would be carried out by adopting
regulations, which must be adopted after receiving permission from the Central Government.
The Council would only play a ceremonial role if the Government decided to exercise its
duties. In some situations, the government may be a party to the mediation procedures,
resulting in a conflict of interest.
The Draft Bill also lacks any responsibilities or repercussions for failing to register a
Mediated Settlement Agreement.
The Bill makes no provision for settlement agreements reached through foreign mediation
performed outside of India. Despite being a signatory to the Singapore Convention in August
2019, India is failed to ratify it. The Convention addresses the implementation of
cross-border settlement agreements reached through international mediation. This is not
addressed in either Part I or Part III of the Bill.
Section 22 of the law addresses the need for confidentiality on the part of both the parties in
dispute and the mediator. However, the clause makes no mention of any punishment or
culpability for willful violation of the principal goal of protecting confidentiality.
8. The Singapore Convention and Its Implications for Mediation in India
The Singapore Mediation Convention, also known as the United Nations Convention on
International Settlement Agreements, has 55 signatories, including India. This Convention
seeks to facilitate international trade by establishing standard, unified norms for resolving
commercial disputes in a global context. However, India has yet to ratify this, which becomes
necessary in order to reap all of the benefits and advantages of mediation.
With its ratification, a settlement agreement achieved through international 'commercial'
mediation would be legally binding, according to Article 3 of the Singapore Convention.
Ratification would also bring domestic laws into line with the Convention. Furthermore,
Article 5(1)(e) states that mediators must adhere to particular requirements in order to offer a
professional, ethical environment for mediation.
In order for India to ratify the Singapore Mediation Convention, the Indian Parliament must
pass legislation implementing the Convention under Article 253 of the Constitution. The
demand for legislation has increased because it is a more cost-effective approach that also
saves businesses and foreign connections.
Settlements achieved through this Convention are anticipated to be enforceable and will not
be referred back to arbitration, even if the other side defaults. Thus, India's acceptance of
the Singapore Mediation Convention will aid in the resolution of disputes with parties outside
of India, allowing them to skip the contractual path of obtaining implementation.
Conclusion
To summarize, there is no denying that the Bill, in its current form, has both advantages and
negatives, and that it is a step in the right direction in terms of encouraging and facilitating
mediation. It would not only bring uniformity, but also simplicity and confidence among the
public to use mediation as a form of dispute settlement outside of the courtroom.
9. At the same time, the Bill contains several gaps and concerns that must be resolved before
allowing it to enter into effect in order to ensure that the Act, when adopted, contains
unambiguous measures to offer better legal underpinning. In addition, the government must
take steps to make the general public aware of mediation and its benefits, as well as heavily
promote it, so that people can reap the benefits.
This will also serve to relieve the country's beleaguered legal system and will become a
popular tool to settle corporate and family issues in the near future.
