Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant will lead an awareness walk in Panaji on December 26 to promote mediation as a people-centric and efficient dispute resolution mechanism, and will later take part in a conference on the subject, event organisers said on Tuesday. The approximately 2-kilometre-long ‘Mediation Awareness Walk’ has been organised by the Bar Council of India (BCI), BCI Trust and the India International University of Legal Education and Research (IIULER), Goa.
