Meridian Textiles Pvt Ltd (Surat) and Kaveri Dyes Ltd (Chennai) attend their first appearance before the mediator on 1 March. Applying the Mediation Act, 2023, by when must the mediation ordinarily be completed, without any extension?

Mediation must be completed within 120 days from the date fixed for the first appearance before the mediator. Here that means 120 days from 1 March. Extension is possible only by party agreement, so the base period is 120 days, not 60, 90 or 180.

  2. BWithin 90 days from 1 March
  3. CWithin 120 days from 1 MarchCorrect
  4. DWithin 180 days from 1 March

Explanation

Section 18(1) requires mediation to be completed within 120 days from the date fixed for the first appearance before the mediator. The period runs from that appearance date, not from any later event. The 180-day option is only the maximum after extension.
