Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the enforcement of a foreign arbitration award under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The court examined the applicability of Indian public policy in relation to foreign awards and the limitations for filing enforcement petitions. Ultimately, the court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision to allow the enforcement of the foreign award, rejecting the Government of India's challenge.
