The document discusses the concept of conciliation under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996. It explains that conciliation is a process where a neutral third party assists parties in reaching a mutually agreeable settlement through non-binding discussions. The conciliator has no decision-making power and aims to help parties find an amicable resolution through an informal process governed by principles of fairness, objectivity and voluntary participation.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) [LLB -309] cpjcollege
Alternative Dispute Resolution has become the primary means by which cases are resolved now days, especially commercial, business disputes. It has emerged as the preferred method for resolving civil cases, with litigation as a last resort. Alternative Dispute Resolution provides an overview of the statutory, procedural, and case law underlining these processes and their interplay with litigation. A significant theme is the evolving role of
professional ethics for attorneys operating in non-adversarial settings. Clients and courts increasingly express a preference for attorneys who are skilled not only in litigation but in problem-solving, which costs the clients less in terms of time, money and relationship. The law of ADR also provides an introduction to negotiation and mediation theory.
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
also to gain useful information about crystallographic orientation of individual grains, the formation of cracks,
identification of potential crack initiation and fracture sites, etc. A comparative evaluation of microstructure of worn
- out valves with new valves was also carried out.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. Conciliation
• The conciliation is a non-binding procedure in
which an impartial and neutral third party assists
the disputing parties to reach a mutually
satisfactory and agreed settlement of the dispute.
• Conciliation is an alternative dispute resolution
process whereby the parties to a dispute use a
conciliator, who meets with the parties separately
in order to resolve their differences.
4. • Voluntary Conciliation- In this method parties
can voluntarily participate in the process of
conciliation for resolving their dispute.
• Compulsory Conciliation- If parties do not want
to take the opportunity of
voluntary conciliation then they can go for
compulsory conciliation. In this method, if the
parties do not want to meet the other party to
resolve the dispute then the process is said to be
compulsory. This method is commonly used in
labour cases.
5. • The conciliation means an 'assisted bargaining
process' between the two.
• The Conciliator has no power of decision.
• The conciliation stresses the power of diplomacy
and of mental acuteness as contrasted with the
judicial process and decision making aspect of
adjudication and arbitration.
• The conciliation process requires involvement of
Conciliator who is knowledgeable and
experienced person.
7. • Part III of the Act deals with the concept of
Conciliation under the Act.
• Conciliation received statutory recognition in
India even before the enactment of Part 3 of
Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1966 through
• Order No.xxxii- A of CPC,1908
• Sec 23 of Hindu Marriage Act
• Sec 3 of Industrial Dispute Act, 1947
• However, these were not exhaustive, therefore
detailed framework in the Act.
8. • The UNCITRAL Rules on Conciliation, 1980 recognized
“the value of conciliation as a method of amicably
settling disputes arising in the context of international
commercial relations” and that adoption of uniform
conciliation rules by “countries with different legal,
social and economic systems would significantly
contribute to the development of harmonious
international economic relations.”
• Accordingly, these rules were closely followed by the
Indian legislators to formulate conciliation rules under
Part III of the Act.
9. • The procedure laid down in Part III of the Act reflects the
following broad principles:
• (1) non-adversary nature of conciliation proceedings –
there is no claimant or plaintiff in conciliation proceedings,
• (2) voluntary nature of proceedings – any party can
commence and discontinue the proceedings,
• (3) flexible procedure – the conciliator has the discretion to
adopt any procedural law to ensure speedy and
inexpensive conduct of proceedings, and
• (4) decisions are recommendatory – disputes are settled
by mutual agreement and not by imposed decisions.
10. • Application And Scope- Section 61
• This part shall apply to conciliation of
disputes arising out of legal relationship,
whether contractual or not and to all
proceedings.
• This part shall not apply where by virtue of
any law for the time being in force certain
disputes may not be submitted to
conciliation.
11. a. Explains the scope of Conciliation making it clear that this
method covers domestic or international disputes of
commercial nature.
b. Legal Relationship can be contractual or Non- Contractual or
it may arise by virtue of some other legal obligation for eg-
the dispute can arise out of non-fulfillment of tortuous
liability or unenforceable contracts.
c. Thus, the scope of Conciliation is broad. In criminal matters
which are compoundable are permissible. Even those
disputes which are non arbitrable like matrimonial,
testamentary and taxation cases etc, conciliation is allowed.
d. But also restricted, some special statue is present, criminal
disputes not compoundable, FR etc.
12. • Commencement of conciliation proceedings Section 62
a. The conciliation proceedings are initiated by one party sending a
written invitation to the other party to conciliate.
b. The invitation should identify the subject of the dispute.
c. Conciliation proceedings are commenced when the other party
accepts the invitation to conciliate in writing. There is no performa
for the written request.
d. If the other party rejects the invitation, there will be no conciliation
proceedings.
e. If the party inviting conciliation does not receive a reply within 30
days from the date he sends the invitation, he may elect to treat
this as rejection of the invitation to conciliate. If he so elects he
should inform the other party in writing.
f. Thus, Oral Confirmation not applicable.
13. • Number And Qualifications of Conciliators-
Section 63: There shall be one conciliator
