Justice Ujjal Bhuyan Highlights Judicial and Policy Challenges to India's Arbitration Goals
Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan criticized recent judicial interventions and Union Finance Ministry policies for undermining India's goal to become a global arbitration hub. Speaking at a Law Forum event, he highlighted the April 2024 Supreme Court curative judgment in the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation arbitration case as particularly damaging, noting it reopened the dispute after multiple legal reviews. Justice Bhuyan questioned how these developments align with Prime Minister Modi's vision of promoting institutional arbitration and expressed concern over weakened investor confidence.
