Title: Meghalaya High Court Organises 40-Hour Mediation Training Programme
Press Release Number:
04/11/2026
Description:
Addressing the gathering, Hon’ble Mrs Justice Revati Mohite Dere, Chief Justice of the High Court of Meghalaya, expressed confidence that the programme would equip participants with the necessary skills to become effective mediators and facilitate the amicable resolution of disputes.
She highlighted the importance of mediation in resolving conflicts arising in workplaces, families and communities, describing it as a constructive alternative to the adversarial system of adjudication.
“Mediation fosters dialogue, understanding and empathy. Its true strength lies not in force, but in dialogue that heals and restores relationships,” she said, emphasising that mediation empowers parties to take control of their disputes and arrive at mutually beneficial solutions.
Illustrating the effectiveness of mediation through the example of two brothers disputing over an orange, Justice Dere explained how a mediator, by facilitating dialogue and understanding the needs of both parties, could help arrive at a solution that might not be possible through conventional litigation.
She observed that mediation, particularly in family, matrimonial and civil disputes involving family members, often brings greater satisfaction than lengthy judicial proceedings, as it helps preserve relationships and prevent prolonged litigation
