The Centre was inaugurated at the Old Sadder Court Complex at Lal Chowk in Srinagar in the presence of Jammu and Kashmir High Court Chief Justice Pankaj Mithal, judges of the High Court and members of the arbitration committee.
Rijiju complemented the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh for establishing an institution of contemporary importance and underlined the importance of arbitration in commercial transactions, especially international ones in view of the rising economy of the country.
“Arbitration is a very important tool for improvement in ease of doing business. Arbitration and mediation can provide better quality justice because the courts are already overburdened with cases,” he said.
He also appreciated the judicial fraternity for making tireless efforts in the dispensation of justice and assured that the Union government would provide all possible help, and make all resources available to the judiciary in the UT of J&K to improve infrastructure as well as manpower.
