Shri Ullah emphasized that in today’s fast moving world, everyone faces time constraint and litigation involves wastage of time,money and resources. He stressed that though Arbitration Law exists in the country but not Mediation Law and called upon the dire need to frame Mediation laws in the country since mediation would obviate the problems which confront litigation in India. He further added that Mediators need to be fair and unbiased and must listen to both the parties for coming out with an amicable solution.

Shri Ullaha dvised the students to step into the legal profession with utmost dedication and honesty, without forsaking values and ethics at any point in life.
