CJI Highlights Delay in Arbitration Council Formation, Calls for Self-Regulation
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant highlighted the six-year delay in establishing the Arbitration Council of India, a statutory regulator created by a 2019 law. Speaking at India ADR Week 2026, he urged arbitral institutions and practitioners to adopt self-regulation to uphold professional standards instead of waiting for government action. The CJI also proposed a public disclosure register for arbitrators and emphasized the need for predictability in cross-border arbitration to avoid repetitive adjudication of similar issues.
