While speaking on the ease of justice in India, Justice Dipak Misra underscored that it is imperative to understand that enhancing the ease of justice is directly proportional to enhancing the ease of living. "It is essential that we promote the culture of settlement across family, insurance, commercial, health, and other disputes for enhancing the ease of justice," said Justice Misra. Expressing his views on streamlining and strengthening the ADR ecosystem in India through the use of technology, Mr. Aggarwal pressed for the need of introducing a paradigm shift in the existing justice delivery system through the intervention of technology. "The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism holds the potential to transform the entire justice system and take the burden off the judiciary. However, to maximise its efficiency, we need to develop some technological solutions that could meet the evolving needs of various stakeholders in the justice sector. We must conceptualise and build a digital infrastructure that can bring a fundamental change in how justice is being perceived in our country," noted Mr. Aggarwal. He further added, "The ease of justice in India lies in the amalgamation of ADR mechanisms and technology. The mission is to change the idea of justice from being a place to a service. We have to build trust among people by overcoming the underlying structural, behavioural, and operational challenges, which is possible only through technology." Justice JR Midha also apprised the participants of the benefits of ADR for ease of justice in India. He noted that delays in judicial procedures also affect the economy of our country. He further suggested that India also needs to push for a fully-developed ADR ecosystem like other countries. Adv. GP Madaan, Managing Partner, Madaan Law Offices; Adv. Venket Rao, Founder and Managing Partner, Intygrat Law Offices; Mr. Gagan Puri, Managing Director - Disputes and Investigations, Alvarez & Marsal India; Mr. Michael Dias, Secretary, The Employers Association, Delhi; and CA Deepa Agarwal, Member, ASSOCHAM National Council for Company Law also participated in the event.

Jupitice has designed and created the World's First "Private Digital Court" for Private Justice System to resolve disputes Online. Mr. Aggarwal found three major drawbacks in the Private Justice System, one there is no global address like Traditional Court where one knows where to go to file one's dispute, secondly relating to how to find ADR Practitioners such as Arbitrators, Conciliators, Mediators etc. and the last but not the least relating to digitalization of Private Justice System.
