What is Mediation in Indian Law?
Mediation is a structured, voluntary process where a neutral third party assists disputing parties in reaching a mutually acceptable settlement. Recognized under Section 89 of the Civil Procedure Code and the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, it's a legally binding alternative to traditional litigation.
