The speakers practically concentrated their talks on using of ADR throwing light on Lok Ayuktas and Adalat system.

The open discussion was based on the questions put forward by the audience as to the practical issues involving use of ADR. The Panel effectively answered the questions and put forward their opinions with regard to the burning issues. It is indeed difficult to frame an effective structure for implimenting the subject of Taking ADR to the Common Man. But it is only through useful discussions centered specifically on the subject and research than can lead to pragmatic implimentation of the subject. More importantly there has to be concrete efforts on the part of the legal fraternity, the media, the government and most importantly the laymen for bringing relief to the common man who are burdened themselves to go the courts who are themselves overburdened with cases.
