A Word from Promoter Director

I have born in an agricultural family in a remote village. After I completed my P.G. in Applied Economics and Econometrics, I joined in Law by circumstances in University Campus. Three years passed in no time and not by choice but by chance I joined legal profession. It is a noble profession.

I have dreamt many things in my childhood. Study of Economics Principles and Law practice has brought me more closer to reality. My association with my Senior Office Sri. P.RamaChandra Reddy an unmatched Giant Personality in legal profession in A.P. has added much value in shaping my views. It has helped in seeing the insider view of judicial appointments and decision making. As a part of Bar, practicing for 20 years I see the good and bad in legal profession and its working. I found the evils that have embraced other walks of life that has also crept into Judiciary and the evil elements in society are abusing the process of courts by leaving no remedy to honest and needy persons. Criminal, Civil and writ jurisdictions have become the sources of inspiration to criminals, cheaters, defrauders, scamsters whether they be politicians with criminal background, bureaucrats who amassed wealth by abusing the power for corrupt purposes or rowdy sheaters and anti-nationals. It is because of the technicalities of procedures not allowing the decisions on merits and also poor performance of Judiciary in controlling the abuse and more often contributing to the abuse by delays and expensiveness.

The entire processes of court procedures without any other effective alternative remedy to the public for dispute resolution are producing dishonesty and misrepresentation of facts, false evidences with impunity, fraud and deception. Litigants or authorities abusing power are laughing at the honest citizen because at the end the citizen has not regained the damage done to him nor any punishment or deprivation caused to the malignant elements.

Many people are making the speeches but speeches vanish the next moment unless solid steps are taken to translate the words into deeds. The talks of large pendency, accumulation of lakhs of cases, docket explosion etc. have no meaning unless we find a solution to the problem.

Further the matter is more complicated with opening of borders to international competition under WTO. The matter is acquired more urgency to our trade and business and people with skills to match the services required in international market.

The growing gap between the objectivity reality and legal institutions that render services will dampen the free movement of the capital, labour, goods and services thereby affecting our ability to meet the new challenges and opportunities in Global Environment under WTO.

I strongly felt that this gap has to be bridged. The economic rationality of an entrepreneur should not be thwarted by judicial erring and political apathy. We should devise alternative institutions to provide effective remedies to people in search of dispute resolution. The Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 has provided a handy tool to this end. I have worked on it. The present institutional development is a result of it. Ofcourse it is not an unthread path. Many developed countries have made much headway in this field and used it as an important tool in the supplementary justice delivery processes. In fact I learnt that all the players i.e. Courts. Lawyers, Arbitrators, Litigant Public, Trade and Business are playing vital role in making the Alternative Dispute Resolution processes a success. So we need not have any apprehensions about its utility and efficacy. We need to popularize the ADR procedures and use of the institution as an instrument to achieve the speedy cost-effective informal Justice delivery.

My effort in this direction is fortified by the unflinching support that is forthcoming from all people and what we need is as institutional structure that makes the dreams of everybody into a reality. The advisory board will guide the mission and vision of the institution to success story. And help contribute its might to the nation building and global family.

At the end I want to stress on this "Unless we aim and work to reach a standard which above or equal to the global standard our success rate is limited. If our institution works at a standard below the national standard, the probability of its failure is more. Global standard is to be measured in terms of technology, human skills and management practices. They in turn influence the cost price of the service delivery by the institution. The cost price should be below the global market price for the same service delivery. We have abundant human resources with extraordinary skills. We have to mix all possible ways i.e. upgradation of technology, skills and management practices so as to produce an effect that minimizes the cost and maximizes the utility for the service consumers, institution and society."
