Aaj kal courts parties ko seedha trial pe bhejne se pehle mediation ya settlement centres ki taraf push kar rahe hain. Idea simple hai: dono side ek neutral mediator ke saamne baith ke calmly baat karein, documents dekhein, emotions thande ho, aur beech ka raasta dhoondhein.
Mediation confidential hoti hai. Jo wahan bola jata hai, wo normally later court evidence nahi banta. Isse parties thoda khul ke options discuss kar sakti hain, bina yeh darr ke ki har line unke khilaf use ho jayegi. Mediator koi judge nahi hota; wo sirf process ko guide karta hai, solution impose nahi karta.
Agar settlement ho jaye, to written terms ban kar ya to court decree ban jaate hain ya compromise order. Yeh enforceable hota hai, aur saalon ka litigation bach sakta hai. Property disputes, family business fights, partnership issues, landlord–tenant matters – sab me mediation useful rehti hai.
Obviously har case me compromise possible nahi. Fraud, serious rights violation, ya pure legal principle ke issues me trial hi better hota hai. Lekin jahan long-term relationship bhi important hai – family, neighbours, business partners – wahan mediation honestly try karna smart move hai.
