Ranchi: The District Legal Service Authority’s (DLSA) special five-day online mediation drive, which concluded on Friday, proved to be a boon for those living in other cities and even overseas who would have otherwise had to come down to the state capital to settle their disputes. Thanks to the pandemic, those people, including some disputing couples, have been able to settle their tiffs while sitting within the confines of their home.
For instance, a man, going through divorce proceedings, appeared from Nepal while his estranged wife appeared from Ranchi after their case came up before the family court of judge Piyush Kumar who referred it to DLSA for mediation. The couple agreed to put an end to their differences though the court formalities for their divorce will continue. Mediator P N Singh and lawyers of the both parties played the role of facilitators in the case.
