We develop a method to show the fundamental group of the double branched covering of a link is not left-orderable by introducing the notion of the coarse presentation. As in the usual group presentations, a coarse presentation is given by a set of generators and relations, but inequalities are allowed as relations. By using coarse presentation, we give a family of links whose double branched covering has the non-left-orderable fundamental group. Our family of links includes many known examples and new examples.
