ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to trace the profile of arbitration law in India, particularly in the context of the recent changes and judicial pronouncements on the Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1996. It addresses the questions lingering around the effectiveness of enforcing arbitral awards, for instance the issues of court powers to modify awards and the problematic sequential enforcement stays.1 On the face of it, though, the study clearly points out the dichotomy between the restrictive provisions meant to curtail court intervention and the reality on the ground with regards to the implementation of arbitration laws. Critical issues here would be the amendment of the Act in 2015, 2019, and 2021, and the huge judgments delivered by the Supreme Court that have made it functional.2
