Disputes are an accepted reality associated with human life. However, numerous problems arise when such disputes are dissolved using methods adopted in rigid legal frameworks. Due to complex procedures inherited from the British legal system, there is a large public mistrust of the existing judicial system. Further, the judicial process is expensive, which hinders the low-income people of the subcontinent to seek justice in the court of law. Consequently, many problems arise that correlate to the judicial mechanism. This article explores the current and upcoming challenges impending the current judicial system, elaborating the possibilities to replace incompetent judicial processes with advanced, stable, and comprehensive Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) instruments to serve proper justice to people leading to peaceful, progressive, and inclusive societies, as mentioned in UN’s Sustainable Development Goal No. 16.
