Saif Mahmood needs to be applauded for his sincere presentation of such a sensitive matter, which has been highly misinterpreted by people (“Misunderstanding a good judgment,” July 19). I hope this article can also start a rational introspection of other Alternative Dispute Resolution settlements in our country, such as the khap panchayats and tribal courts. These are results of long-standing traditions but often seem lacking in expertise, sensitivity and a progressive outlook.
