Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether Indian companies can select a foreign forum for arbitration and if an award from such a forum qualifies as a 'foreign award' under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The court concluded that an award made in a foreign forum, governed by the New York Convention, is indeed a foreign award and enforceable in India. This ruling clarifies the applicability of international arbitration norms within the Indian legal framework.
