LMJ INTERNATIONAL LTD vs SLEEPWELL INDUSTRIES CO. LTD

The Supreme Court addressed the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, specifically under Part-II. The Court held that the execution petitions filed by the respondent were maintainable despite the petitioner's objections, as the arbitral awards were valid and enforceable. The Court emphasized that the petitioner had failed to participate in the arbitration proceedings, leading to ex-parte awards, and thus upheld the High Court's decision to reject the objections raised by the petitioner.
