Courts must resist rehearing arbitral awards on merits to build global arbitration hub: Darius Khambata

Courts must resist rehearing arbitral awards on merits to build global arbitration hub: Darius Khambata If India has to develop as a preferred arbitration seat, courts in the country must resist the temptation to re-hear arbitration disputes on merits, Senior Advocate Darius Khambata said on September 5. The senior lawyer was speaking at the Gujarat High Court Arbitration Centre (GHAC) Arbitration Week in GIFT City on ‘Rules of Private International Law in International Commercial Arbitration. He explained that non-interference from courts means resisting the temptation to decide the matter. “In arbitration, the justice of the case requires that a court respect the decision of the parties that an arbitral tribunal decides, and not a judge. Khambata urged courts to explicitly frame challenge grounds immediately instead of re-hearing the entire disputes on merits. “If you have a good judicial ecosystem and a good legislative ecosystem that really makes for a very successful seat,” he said. He also highlighted Singapore’s practice of institutional humility. “With all its success, every single month and year the Singaporeans are thinking of how we can improve? That is an essential factor for a good seat,” Khambata said. King’s Counsel Thomas Williams, Asian Institute of Alternative Dispute Resolution (AIADR) Founding President Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo and Clifford Chance Partner Nish Shetty were co-panelists at the session, The session was moderated by Barrister Anirudh Krishnan. Shetty observed that commercial parties routinely neglect drafting arbitration clauses during initial contract negotiations.

Kerala High Court asks trial court to reconsider Ansiba Hassan's plea for FIR against Lakshmi Priya

Kerala High Court asks trial court to reconsider Ansiba Hassan's plea for FIR against Lakshmi Priya The Kerala High Court on Monday directed a trial court to reconsider Malayalam actress Ansiba Hassan's plea for the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against actress Lakshmi Priya and two representatives of an online media outlet, Can Channel Media [Ansiba Hassan v State of Kerala & ors]. The matter concerns a video circulated on social media of an interview given by Lakshmipriya to Can Channel. Hassan claims that the interview included sexually coloured remarks against her, which were intended to outrage her modesty and damage her reputation. She asserted that Lakshmipriya's comments and the circulation of such content disclosed the commission of cognisable criminal offences. However, on July 27, an Ernakulam Judicial First Class Magistrate dismissed her plea to order the registration of an FIR into the matter. Hassan had challenged this order before the High Court. Today, Justice Jobin Sebastian ordered the trial court reconsider the matter. "The matter is remitted to the learned Magistrate for fresh consideration.
