ABSTRACT

Alternative Dispute Redressal (ADR), which refers to the process of dispute resolution, denotes the idea of making the system of delivering justice friendly to the disputed parties and ensuring quick resolution of the disputed cases. As ADR is now a widely accepted process in a number of disputed contexts, it is compelling the policymakers to introduce it in other viable sectors. Criminal cases relating to petty offences can be considered as one such area. The criminal justice system emphasizes the role of the state in resolving offences to ensure peace and to protect the life and property of its citizens. The recent steps to include ADR in the criminal justice system can be seen through the incorporation of plea negotiating system or the plea bargaining system in the pre-trial stage. The paper will advocate into the benefits of the embracing ADR into our criminal justice system and how it enhances the efficiency of the system. At the very same time, the paper dwells into the obstacles and challenges faced by this new adoption into the system. It thereby is critical analysis of why this system is ADR is incorporated into the criminal justice system, how this new method is working and whether this is the solution.
