A parliamentary panel has recommended a singular controlling authority for all types of mediation service providers and mediation institutes, instead of multiple authorities proposed in a bill.
The Department-related Standing Committee on Law and Personnel also recommended that the time limit provided for the completion of a mediation process should be capped at 90 days with an extended period of 60 days, instead of 180 days.
The committee headed by Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Sushil Kumar Modi submitted its report to Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu.
