Gen Z lawyers more open to mediation: Supreme Court Justice Kotiswar Singh

Gen Z lawyers more open to mediation: Supreme Court Justice Kotiswar Singh Gen Z lawyers are more open to mediation than older generations and are likely to take it seriously if given proper training and are shown that it can offer a viable career, Supreme Court Justice N Kotiswar Singh recently opined. The judge recalled asking around 15 interns how mediation was taught in their law colleges. Their responses indicated that it was treated “just like another, just a by-the-way kind of subject”. He contrasted this with the importance given to moot court competitions and called for a similar push for mediation in colleges and universities. Greater exposure would allow students with different aptitudes to consider mediation as a career rather than merely treating it as a compulsory subject, he said. “I don't want to criticise my generation, but this Gen Z generation are very, very sensitive. Given the proper training, the proper approach, they are going to accept....If we are able to show the positive aspects of this profession, that you can have a really good future profession in this mediation, they are going to take it very seriously,” he said. Justice Singh made the remarks on August 8 during a fireside chat with Senior Advocate Rajeev Virmani at the International ADR Conference 2026, organised by Maadhyam International Council for Conflict Resolution in New Delhi. Justice Singh also said several disputes which reach courts do not deserve to be litigated and had a substantial possibility of settlement.

How can there be a fair delimitation when it is a fraud: TNCC president

How can there be a fair delimitation when it is a fraud: TNCC president Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president B. Manickam Tagore on Sunday said there could be no “fair delimitation”, and criticised certain political parties “for changing their tune in their opposition to the delimitation Bill in just a matter of months”. Speaking at the anti-delimitation march held at Medavakkam in Chennai, Mr. Tagore said, “When Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Kamarajar, and Vallabhbhai Patel called for the Quit India Movement on August 8, 1942, two groups did not take part in it: one, sanghis, and the other, everyone knows who they are.” He further said those who did not participate in the meeting of MPs from Tamil Nadu were now “talking about fair delimitation”. The DMK, AIADMK, and their allies had stayed away from the delimitation discussion meeting chaired by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Saturday. “This is a fraud — how can there be a fair and an unfair delimitation when it is a fraud? The [Prime Minister Narendra] Modi government is denying Tamil Nadu its financial share and schemes. In April this year, we defeated the Bill [on delimitation] by voting against it.

Salt manufacturers urge T.N. CM to renew licences

CM to renew licences Salt manufacturers on lands belonging to the State government in the Thirukazhukundram taluk near Kalpakkam and in Kadambadi have urged the Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay to direct officials to renew their licences. An industry source said that though around 3,500 acres of lands were originally leased out for salt manufacturing, now production was underway in about 900 acres. “It is a long strip of a land about 150 families would be dependent on these lands. The respective district collectors have already been told to renew the licences by the Commissioner of Land Administration. But somehow it is taking time here,” he explained. Vimal, a worker at a pan near Kalpakkam said that they were producing salt for some more days this year than usual due to the weather. “It is a seasonal business. So, if we get more working days, we get some more money. Many smaller salt pans in the Kovalam and Kelambakkam area managed by individuals have closed down due to non-extension of licences,” he said.

Jharkhand students to gherao state assembly today as talks fail

Jharkhand students to gherao state assembly today as talks fail RANCHI: Jharkhand’s capital is bracing for a major showdown on Monday after protesting job aspirants decided to go ahead with their planned assembly gherao, rejecting government appeals to call off the agitation despite a third round of talks on Sunday. The deadlock persisted over two key demands — a CBI probe into alleged recruitment irregularities and cancellation of JSSC-CGL 2024 examination. In a dramatic development, all three remaining JPSC members resigned on Sunday night ahead of their scheduled CID questioning on Monday over alleged irregularities in the 14th JPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination. Their resignations came days after the JPSC chairperson stepped down. Earlier, hundreds of protesters took out a nearly one-km ‘Tiranga Yatra’ on Sunday from Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium, the epicentre of the 16-day-old agitation, to Albert Ekka Chowk. Seeking to defuse the standoff, CM Hemant Soren urged youths not to fall prey to “political patronage”. At Morabadi, he said, “Your demands are your right. Every legitimate demand will be addressed with transparency.
