Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed two pivotal questions regarding the enforceability of an award by an Emergency Arbitrator under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. It held that such an award qualifies as an order under Section 17(1) of the Act, thus making it enforceable. Additionally, the court ruled that orders passed under Section 17(2) for enforcement of Emergency Arbitrator awards are appealable, thereby clarifying the procedural aspects of arbitration enforcement in India.
