Mediation centers can play a big role in reaching a compromise agreement between the two parties. He said that the burden of cases can be reduced before they come to the courts. Justice DY Chandrachud said that if it takes a long time to settle the cases even through mediation centres, then people will avoid making settlements. In such a situation, the dispute between the two parties will continue and the burden of cases on the courts will also increase. Chief Justice Chandrachud raised questions on the reluctance of district courts to grant easy bail to undertrial prisoners. He said that he does not know why the district courts are afraid of granting bail. Chief Justice Chandrachud welcomed the rapid increase in the number of women in the field of law.
