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 ruled that such an award qualifies as an order under Section 17(1) of the Act, thereby allowing enforcement. Furthermore, the court concluded that orders passed under Section 17(2) for enforcement of Emergency Arbitrator awards are indeed appealable, affirming the jurisdiction of the High Court in these matters.
