Abstract

A foreign judgment may be enforced in India either by proceedings in execution or by a suit upon it. An arbitral award is a determination on the merits by an arbitration tribunal in arbitration, and is analogous to a judgment in a court of law. Arbitration is particularly popular as a means of dispute resolution in the commercial sphere. One of the reasons for doing so is that in international trade, it is often easier to enforce an arbitration award in a foreign country than it is to enforce a judgment of the court. The enforcement of foreign arbitration awards in India is governed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 through New York Convention and Geneva Convention and a non-conventional award will be enforceable in India under the common law grounds of justice, equity and good conscience.
