Courts, govt, and the curious case of weakening arbitration softly - The Economic Times

Recent Indian Supreme Court rulings and government actions are undermining arbitration as a litigation alternative. The Supreme Court's judgments, such as the 'Gayatri Balasamy vs ISG Novasoft Technologies' case, allow more judicial intervention in arbitration awards, injecting uncertainty. Additionally, the government's draft Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Bill 2024 further expands grounds for challenging awards, weakening arbitration's reliability. These moves could discourage private parties from choosing arbitration and increase the burden on the already overwhelmed court system.
