This article is an attempt to study the processes and phenomenon in which restorative justice is capable of offering a concrete solution like criminal violations, community ruptures and disputes, human rights violations etc. It also discusses the key idea of restorative justice and its applicability in Indian context. This approach has often been criticized, and many have attempted to highlight its limitations totally sidelining its success and achievements.Restorative Justice is not a new phenomenon rather has age-old existence but the modern legal system being result oriented at all levels has totally sidelined its utility in doing complete justice. In this paper, I havemade an attempt to explore the foundational concepts of restorative justice, its various forms andnomenclatures.
