Infrastructure Disputes and Role of Arbitrators

Abstract

Resolving infrastructure disputes using arbitration has almost become a norm. /\s stakes are high, the awards are usually challenged in a court of law. For the award to come out unscathed through the legal scrutiny process, it is important that the arbitrators had applied their mind and looked into the matter with the knowledge of the subject matter of dispute and also with knowledge of law. The role of arbitrators is critical in the success of using arbitration as a means of dispute resolution. The project looks at issues pertaining to the role of arbitrators vis-a-vis infrastructure disputes and discusses their role in the light of the decisions of the Supreme Court and high courts in India.
