Explanation

Under Section 89 of CPC, courts can refer disputes to arbitration, conciliation, mediation, or judicial settlement. However, negotiation is not one of the formal ADR mechanisms specified in this section for court reference. While parties may negotiate independently, the court cannot specifically make a reference to negotiation. Options A, B, and D are all permissible forms of ADR reference under Section 89.
