Is an arbitral award binding like a court judgment?
Yes. An arbitral award has the same legal status and enforceability as a decree of a Civil Court under Section 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996.
What are the grounds to challenge an arbitration award under Section 34?
Grounds are strictly limited to lack of jurisdiction, incapacity of parties, patent illegality appearing on the face of the award, violation of fundamental policy of Indian law, or denial of equal opportunity to present case.
