Mediation first came to be legally recognised as a method of dispute resolution in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 in India. It is an effective tool to resolve any dispute not necessitating a judicial or statutory intervention. The mediator brings the parties to a face-to-face confidential session, in which the parties gets an opportunity to explain their part and listen to the opponent’s claim. It eventually goes to stage where the common grounds are worked and settled.

Mediation allows the parties to satisfy their long-term and underlying interests at each stage. This is immensely beneficial as it allows the parties creativity in examining alternatives, evaluating options and reaching a settlement. When the parties themselves agree to the terms of the settlement, there is compliance with the terms.
