The Supreme Court Clarifies The Distinction Between Seat And Venue Of Arbitration
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in “J&K Economic Reconstruction Agency vs. Rash Builders India Private Limited [2026 INSC 368]”, has revisited the law relating to the distinction between the Seat and the Venue of Arbitration. The same was necessitated since the core issue which arose in the case was whether, despite an express designation of Srinagar as the seat of arbitration, the conduct of proceedings and rendering of the award at New Delhi would confer jurisdiction upon courts at New Delhi.
