The enduring issue at hand revolves around the authority of courts to alter an award in proceedings under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, which deals with applications for setting aside arbitral awards. On February 20, 2024, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court referred the question of whether the Court's powers under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act extend to modifying an arbitral award to a larger bench. Our team analyses the issue of courts modifying arbitral awards. #arbitrationact #indianlaw #disputeresolution #indiancourts
