Recently a family dispute came before the Supreme Court which the parties, husband and wife, had been litigating for almost sever years from the family court to the Supreme Court. The issue was with regard to the fixation of maintenance. The three member bench headed by the Chief justice of Pakistan appointed a mediator named, Ms. Sara Tarrar, an accredited mediator who took this matter very vigilantly and resolved it through her hectic efforts within a few months. The Court appreciated her efforts and emphasized on pro mediation approach in all cases including family cases.
The Court stated that,
“5. Mediation is not merely an alternative to litigation; it is a paradigm shift in dispute resolution, built on the principles of collaboration, confidentiality, and party autonomy. It offers a nonadversarial framework that empowers parties to shape the outcome of their own disputes, guided by a neutral facilitator rather than a judicial determination.”
