In Q3 2024, the Supreme Court and various High Courts have delivered key rulings that will shape the arbitration landscape in India. The Supreme Court has clarified that a mere violation of law is not grounds for invalidating an arbitral award; an award can only be set aside if it violates the fundamental policy of Indian law. These decisions offer greater legal certainty and reinforce the robustness of arbitration in India. Meanwhile, High Courts have affirmed the authority of Indian Courts to issue anti-enforcement injunctions against foreign proceedings that threaten the integrity of arbitrations initiated in India, safeguarding the arbitration process from cross-border challenges.
