The Supreme Court will hear if arbitral tribunals in India can go beyond institutional arbitration rules agreed by parties, citing equity and “interest of justice.” The case comes from a dispute between Aneja Constructions and Doosan Power Systems.
The Bar Council of India (BCI) issued a directive prohibiting the use of the words “India”, “Indian”, “National”, “Bharat”, “Bhartiya” and “Rashtriya” by private law universities while organizing moot court competitions, conferences and other such legal or law related events. In a circular issued on Tuesday, October 15, the BCI stated that the practice of referring to such events as national or all-India events without the necessary approval is misleading and violative of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950.
