In the context of the Indian Civil Procedure Code (CPC) of 1908, which is applicable as of my last knowledge update in September 2021, "ADR" typically stands for Alternative Dispute Resolution. ADR methods, such as mediation and arbitration, are mechanisms for resolving disputes outside of traditional court litigation. The CPC does not explicitly detail ADR procedures, but it does provide provisions in Order X Rule 1A that encourage parties to consider settlement through negotiation or ADR before proceeding with a lawsuit.


However, please note that legal codes and regulations can change over time, and I do not have access to real-time information. Therefore, I recommend consulting the most recent version of the Indian Civil Procedure Code or seeking legal advice to understand any updates or changes related to ADR in civil cases since my last knowledge update in September 2021.
