Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 — back to Table of Contents
PART III — CONCILIATION. This entire Part was substituted with just two short sections by the Mediation Act, 2023, replacing the original detailed conciliation procedure (formerly Sections 61–81).
Section 61. Reference of conciliation in enactments
(1) Any provision, in any other enactment for the time being in force, providing for resolution of disputes through conciliation in accordance with the provisions of this Act, shall be construed as a reference to mediation as provided under the Mediation Act, 2023.
(2) Conciliation as provided under this Act and the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, shall be construed as mediation referred to in clause (h) of section 3 of the Mediation Act, 2023.
Note: This section was substituted, along with the omission of the former Sections 63 to 81, by the Mediation Act, 2023.
