The book under the title “A Deep Dive into Arbitration” reflects the concept of Alternative Dispute Resolution which has been a tireless journey since Treta Yug .The thread of development runs through Dwapar yug till today ,a sneak peek into the historical snippets give glimpses of the concept which often is considered a legislative innovation , but is a modern day adaptation of a non codified yet meticulously carved out judicial principle of dispute resolution by appointing an independent decision maker , who was considered personification of god who could dispel justice , without prejudice . Irrespective of the lopsided motion of the proceedings , the decision maker was to remain neutral till the final disposal of the case. This book is a collection of such incidents , which have remained the beacon of Madhyasasta – a concept under renovation . The Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 in its present form has been the under the lens of continuous legislative scrutiny since enactment , regular amendments have sharpen the edge of the Act , which was meant to break the ice between the disputing parties , without using the complex judicial tool, which often tests the patience and financial threshold of the parties . However , the Act still has left some corners open , which requires legislative as well as judicial attention . The book takes a deep dive into such aspects , to provide its readers a new dimension for viewing the Act in consonance with the legislative intent and its subsequent outcomes , it further intends to stand in the queue of the civil society lobby which has been an active player suggesting reforms and helping in building and amending laws with strong foundation . Readers are invited to cherish the work with application of fresh minds along with the accommodative attitude to appreciate the missing link of Indian history with present form of Arbitration and import guidelines from past , in order to carve better laws .
