What does Indian Arbitration need to accomplish to make Institutional Arbitration a triumph in India?
Introduction
In India, institutional arbitration is still in its infancy, and it has yet to mature to the point where it can adequately address industry concerns. Since introducing the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the Indian government has worked hard to promote arbitration in India. Although ad hoc arbitration is widely used in India, worldwide business communities prefer to settle conflicts using pre-determined norms and processes. For institutional arbitration to prosper in India, a cultural shift is unpreventable. To stay up with the rest of the developed and developing world, India must promote institutional arbitration. It is critical to popularize institutional arbitration in India to fulfill the primary goal of arbitration legislation, namely to resolve disputes to provide a rapid and cost-effective means of resolving disputes.
Promotion of Institutional Arbitration in India is the cure for the Arbitration's suffocating future. The arbitral institutions are in charge of all proceedings, which are carried out per the arbitration agreement. International Chamber of Commerce (IIC), London Court International Arbitration (LCIA), American Arbitration Association (AAA), and International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) are the world's major arbitration organizations.
Prospective recommendations
The following suggestions are given to further the stated goal:
The formation of an independent organization called the Arbitration Promotion Council of India (APCI) would rate arbitral institutions in India and represent representatives from various stakeholders.
The general public underappreciates the benefits of institutional arbitration. The government, bar associations, and the media should all contribute to raising public knowledge about the benefits of institutional arbitration.
There are very few powerful, reputable international arbitration organizations in India. Certain trade groups, such as FICCI and ASSOCHAM, have established well-known centers like ICA and ICADR. Then there are centers like IIAM and Nani Palkhiwala Arbitration Centre in Chennai, to name a few. India, on the other hand, is still not a popular foreign destination. Suppose one of the parties is a foreign person. In that case, foreign international arbitration organizations such as SIAC, LCIA, or ICC are preferable, as arbitration in India is regarded as being plagued by undue delay, expensive fees, and unnecessary judicial interference. As a result, establishing other arbitration institutions in India can assist in regulating and streamline the arbitration process, allowing more people to participate.
Conclusion
Arbitration is a handy, cost-effective, and efficient method of resolving disputes that provides the parties with a clear and binding outcome. However, due to a lack of appropriate infrastructure, parties cannot get rulings on time, adding to the complications. The government is committed to accelerating dispute settlement and establishing India as a global center for international and domestic arbitration following international norms.
