Smar Singh Parmar vs. Smt. Manju Parmar — Mediation Centre Referral
The MP High Court Division Bench (Sanjay Yadav and Atul Sreedharan JJ.) directed the parties in this matrimonial first appeal to attend the Mediation Centre at 2:30 PM for mediation proceedings. The matter was sent specifically to the Bhopal Mediation Centre where Giribala Singh was functioning as Secretary, SALSA (State Authority for Legal Services in Assessments, likely MPSLSA).
Background & Facts
Smar Singh Parmar and Smt. Manju Parmar were parties to First Appeal 1281 of 2018 — a matrimonial dispute before the MP High Court. The Division Bench, rather than proceeding with the appeal, chose to invoke ADR mechanisms through the Mediation Centre.
2019 context: By 2019, Giribala Singh had risen to the position of Secretary/Member Secretary at MPSLSA, giving her an institutional role in running the State's legal services and mediation infrastructure. This referral places her at the Bhopal Mediation Centre in an oversight capacity.
Giribala Singh's Role
Giribala Singh was acting as Secretary, SALSA (the State-level legal services authority for Bhopal district), when the High Court Division Bench sent this matter to the Mediation Centre at 2:30 PM. Her role was likely supervisory — as the head of the Centre — rather than personally conducting the mediation session. This is a transitional case showing her move from direct mediator to institutional overseer of mediation.
Outcome & Verdict
The outcome of the mediation session is not publicly available. The case is indexed only at the referral order stage (HC bench order directing parties to the Mediation Centre at a specified time). The Division Bench retained control by specifying the exact time — indicating continued judicial oversight of the mediation process.
