The landscape of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Pakistan is undergoing a remarkable transformation, guided by the visionary judgements of the Senior Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and Accredited Mediator, Honorable Mr. Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, with instrumental support from Mian Sheraz Javaid. Their collaborative efforts are reshaping the country's approach to dispute resolution.

Mian Sheraz Javaid's strategic contributions, alongside Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, have been pivotal in navigating this evolution. Their combined efforts have propelled the adoption of  principles within Pakistan's legal framework, setting new standards for efficient and effective dispute resolution.

Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah's judgements have emerged as game-changers, exemplified by the landmark ruling in the case of Taisei Corporation. This judgement heralds a significant shift in the judiciary's stance towards arbitration, emphasizing minimal interference and robust support for the arbitral process, signaling a paradigm shift towards a "pro-enforcement bias."

In the case of 2023 SCMR 1856, Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah's perspective underscores the importance of pre-litigation opportunities for dispute resolution. This acknowledgement accentuates the value of resolving disputes before they escalate, aligning with the broader objectives of ADR in Pakistan's legal landscape.

A recent judgement by Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah further reinforces the potential scope and application of ADR in Pakistan, particularly mediation. He highlights mediation's inherent advantages, such as fostering win-win solutions and preserving relationships, and extends its usage to the public sector, a significant step towards alleviating the burden on the judiciary and expediting the resolution process.

Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah and Mian Sheraz Javaid's leadership in advancing ADR principles in Pakistan is further underscored by their participation at the SIFoCC in Doha, Qatar. This prestigious event, organized by the Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre, brings together commercial courts worldwide, showcasing Pakistan's commitment to advancing global standards in dispute resolution under their visionary leadership.
