The Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge Nasirul Mulk on Saturday said majority of the cases are filed due to egotism, and in such a society, the Alternate Dispute Resolution techniques would be the best way to settle disputes.
He said this while addressing an award ceremony on the conclusion of a one-week course, titled “Skilled–based Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR), Legal Writing and New Laws”, for civil judges and judicial magistrates from all over Pakistan, including Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Mulk said by applying ADR techniques, we can end disputes between parties “once and for all.” “Young judicial officers should sharpen their skills and improve their proficiency in the legal language and legal writing,” he said.
“One small mistake in the judgment leads to many complications, hence, always think before you take a final decision. Make no mistakes in your decisions. In cases relating to family disputes, show more sensitivity and prudence because these matters effect the family lives of people,” he said.
