https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=395742 Foreign arbitral award enforcement under Section 48 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 is confined to narrow, statutory exceptions, and the enforcing court must adopt a pro-enforcement approach. The Supreme Court noted that a court cannot treat the award as inexecutable or remit the matter back to the arbitrator outside Section 48. It further held that "unable to present its case" under Section 48(1)(b) means denial of a fair hearing due to circumstances beyond the party's control; where a party had notice, extensions, and opportunities but failed to participate or filed submissions late, refusal of enforcement is not justified. The award was directed to be enforced. en-us Tue, 02 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 09:14:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=395742 Foreign arbitral award enforcement under Section 48 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 is confined to narrow, statutory exceptions, and the enforcing court must adopt a pro-enforcement approach.
