Also orders passed in litigation may not resolve grievances of both parties. As a Counsel, I have been promoting settlement of cases by my clients. Several of my clients have settled their cases at my persuasion. To augment my capabilities as a neutral, I am pursuing the M. A. (Executive) course on Mediation and Conflict Resolution from MNLU, Mumbai. I have completed Paper 1 comprising 45 hours training in basic mediation skills in partial fulfillment of my M.A. Degree. Hence I believe that I am suitable for appointment as a neutralPractising as a Counsel in the Hon'ble Bombay High Court and the Hon'ble Bombay City Civil Court
