SAS Nagar, July 25: District and Sessions Judge, Sh. Atul Kasana encouraged the Judicial Officers to work diligently for the successful execution of the ongoing ‘Mediation for the Nation’ campaign. Emphasizing the need to promote mediation as a quicker, more economical, and relationship-sensitive alternative to traditional litigation, he urged the judicial officers to motivate disputing parties to opt for mediation to resolve their conflicts amicably.
     DLSA SAS Nagar, Secretary, CJM Ms. Surabhi Prashar, briefed the participants on the details of the campaign. She informed that ‘Mediation for the Nation’ is a 90-day nationwide initiative launched by the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) in collaboration with the Mediation & Conciliation Project Committee (MCPC). Running from July 1 to September 30, 2025, the campaign seeks to resolve a wide array of pending cases through voluntary mediation in both Sub-Divisional and District Courts.
The campaign primarily focuses on matrimonial disputes, motor accident claims, domestic violence matters, cheque bounce cases, and commercial disputes. Mediation involves a neutral third party who facilitates negotiations between the disputing parties to help them arrive at a mutually agreeable settlement.
