About the book<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr Avtar Singh’s Law of Arbitration and Conciliation in India has been thoroughly revised in its latest edition by Saurabh Bindal.<\/p>\n

The amendments of 2015, 2019, and 2021 have been covered at length in this book. The intent of the 2015 Amendment to the Act was limited to providing speedy justice to the people. Amongst the provisions inserted in the Act, seminal provisions were those related to fixation of timeline for conclusion of arbitration proceedings, provision of interim relief for arbitrations leading to a foreign award, omission of the automatic stay in case of domestic awards, etc.<\/p>\n

As the Act was about to complete 25 years, with an aim to make India a commercial arbitration hub and reduce the intervention of courts, the government introduced amendments to the Act in the year 2019. The 2019 Amendment to the Act brings a lot of reliance on the arbitral institutions. It also focuses on the establishment of the Arbitration Council of India, which has been vested with powers and duties under the Act. Thereafter, came the 2021 Amendment to the Act, which focused on the deletion of Schedule 8 [inserted by the 2019 Amendment Act] and provisioning of grounds for seeking stay under Section 36 of the Act.<\/p>\n

Since the publication of the last edition, the courts in India have interpreted the law relating to arbitration in a far-reaching manner. All these developments have been succinctly incorporated into the book.<\/p>\n

This book will be useful for students of law who want to develop a skill set in arbitration in India. Practitioners, judges, and even general readers will benefit from reading this thoroughly updated book on arbitration in India.<\/p>\n

Effect of the Supreme Court decision in BALCO<\/h4>\n

The Supreme Court in Bharat Aluminium Co v Kaiser Aluminium Technical Services Inc[1]<\/sup><\/a> (BALCO) decided that Parts I and II of the 1996 Act are mutually exclusive of each other. The intention of Parliament is that the 1996 Act is territorial in nature and Sections 9 and 34 will apply only when the seat of arbitration is in India. The seat is the \u201ccentre of gravity\u201d of arbitration, and even where two foreign parties arbitrate in India, Part I would apply and, by virtue of Section 2(7), the award would be a \u201cdomestic award\u201d. The Supreme Court recognised the \u201cseat\u201d of arbitration to be the juridical seat; however, in line with international practice, it was observed that the arbitral hearings may take place at a location other than the seat of arbitration. The distinction between \u201cseat\u201d and \u201cvenue\u201d was, therefore, recognised. In such a scenario, only if the seat is determined to be in India, Part I would be applicable. If the seat is in foreign, Part I would be inapplicable. Even if Part I was expressly included \u201cit would only mean that the parties have contractually imported from the 1996 Act those provisions which are concerned with the internal conduct of their arbitration and which are not inconsistent with the mandatory provisions of the [foreign] Procedural Law\/Curial Law\u201d. The same cannot be used to confer jurisdiction on an Indian court. However, the decision in BALCO was expressly given prospective effect and applied to arbitration agreements executed after the date of the judgment.<\/p>\n

While the decision in BALCO is a step in the right direction and would drastically reduce judicial intervention in foreign arbitrations, the Law Commission felt that there were still a few areas that are likely to be problematic. Where the assets of a party are located in India, and there is a likelihood that that party will dissipate its assets in the near future, the other party will lack an efficacious remedy if the seat of the arbitration is abroad. The latter party will have two possible remedies, but neither will be efficacious. Firstly, the latter party can obtain an interim order from a foreign court or the Arbitral Tribunal itself and file a civil suit to enforce the right created by the interim order. The interim order would not be enforceable directly by filing an execution petition as it would not qualify as a \u201cjudgment\u201d or \u201cdecree\u201d for the purposes of Sections 13 and 44-A CPC 1908 (which provide a mechanism for enforcing foreign judgments). Secondly, in the event that the former party does not adhere to the terms of the foreign order, the latter party can initiate proceedings for contempt in the foreign court and enforce the judgment of the foreign court under Sections\u00a013 and 44-A CPC. Neither of these remedies is likely to provide a practical remedy to the party seeking to enforce the interim relief obtained by it. That being the case, it is a distinct possibility that a foreign party would obtain an arbitral award in its favour only to realise that the entity against which it has to enforce the award has been stripped of its assets and has been converted into a shell company.<\/p>\n

While the decision in BALCO was made prospective to ensure that hotly negotiated bargains are not overturned overnight, it results in a situation where courts, despite knowing that the decision in Bhatia International v Bulk Trading S.A.[2]<\/sup><\/a> is no longer good law, are forced to apply it whenever they are faced with a case arising from an arbitration agreement executed pre-BALCO. These issues have now been addressed by way of amendments to Sections\u00a02(2) in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act,\u00a01996 [Act No.\u00a026 of 1996]. [As amended by the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act,\u00a02015.]<\/p>\n

In the matter under the \u201cScope\u201d after the first line to the effect that \u201cThis part shall apply where the place of arbitration is in India\u201d, the amendment adds a proviso to the following effect:<\/p>\n

Provided that subject to an agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Sections\u00a09, 27, 37(1)(b) and (3) are to apply to international commercial arbitration, even if the place of arbitration is outside India, and an arbitral award made or to be made in such place is enforceable and recognised under the provisions of Part II of this Act.<\/p>\n
