Kinds of Arbitration Proceeding
In the process of arbitration a dispute is presented to the arbitral tribunal instead of the regular court (civil or criminal). When the dispute goes to an arbitral tribunal, the decision of the tribunal becomes binding because there is no upper or higher authority to which the parties may go for further appeals.
When a case goes to the court for hearing and delivery of justice, they use traditional methods of the judicial process which in turn leaves the parties financially exhausted and also dissatisfied at times, but this does not happen in an arbitration process because here the agreement or settlement is done on a mutual basis and another benefit of it is that it is cost effective and time saving for the parties.

? Domestic arbitration = by domestic arbitration we mean that the case should be decided s per the Indian laws in the territory of India and also both the partiers should be the citizens of India.
