<h1>Supreme Court of India Rules Unstamped Arbitration Agreements Inadmissible but Not Void, Clarifies Curable Defects in Contracts.</h1> The Supreme Court of India's 7-member Constitutional Bench addressed the enforceability of arbitration agreements within unstamped contracts, evaluating the interplay between the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, the Indian Stamp Act 1899, and the Indian Contract Act 1872. The pivotal N N Global 2 judgment ruled that unstamped instruments containing arbitration agreements are void and unenforceable, aligning with earlier decisions. Petitioners argued for limited judicial intervention, while respondents emphasized statutory compliance. The Court clarified that non-stamping renders documents inadmissible but not void, highlighting the curable nature of such defects, thus shaping future arbitration-related legal discourse.
