Judicial intervention in arbitration proceedings • Judicial intervention in arbitration proceedings adds significantly to the delays in the arbitration process and ultimately negates the benefits of arbitration • Dedicated benches for arbitration related cases: eg. Delhi High Court has a separate bench. • Amendment in section 11: Delegate the power of appointment (being a non-judicial act) to specialized, external persons or institutions. • Amendment to section 11 (7) made providing that decisions of the High Court/ Supreme Court (regarding existence/nullity of the arbitration agreement) are final where an arbitrator has been appointed, and as such are non-appealable.
