In a mediation between Anand Pharma Ltd and Bhushan Logistics LLP, the 120-day period is nearing expiry with talks progressing. Both parties wish to continue. What is the maximum further period for which they may agree to extend the mediation under the Mediation Act, 2023?

The parties may agree to extend the mediation by a further period not exceeding sixty days. The extension depends on the parties' agreement and is capped by Section 18(2), so the total outer limit becomes 120 days plus up to 60 days.

  1. AUp to 30 days
  2. BUp to 60 daysCorrect
  3. CUp to 90 days
  4. DUp to 120 days

Explanation

Section 18(2) allows the period to be extended for a further period as agreed by the parties, but not exceeding sixty days. Hence the outer limit is 120 plus 60 days. Ninety or 120 days exceed the statutory cap.
