I write for @barandbench explaining the plight of claimants who find themselves transformed into litigants.
I further explore the pressing need to reclaim the original vision and spirit of arbitration in India.

[Bar and Bench @barandbench]

The promise of arbitration: From speedy justice to courtroom labyrinth

Indian courts must embrace a philosophy of minimal intervention, interpreting grounds for judicial review narrowly and respecting the autonomy of arbitral tribunals.

Writes Prafull Bhardwaj, an advocate practicing before the Supreme Court of India.

Delhi: Supreme Court initiates suo motu case over issue of investigating agencies summoning lawyers

Advocate Prafull Bhardwaj says, "...An advocate had been summoned by the Gujarat Police based on their role they were the defense counsel for the accused. The police wanted the advocate to provide all information related to the accused. The Supreme Court has taken this matter very seriously and, recognizing its gravity, has framed certain questions of law. The Court has placed the matter before the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India for further orders..."

VIDEO | On investigating agencies' summons to advocates case, advocate Prafull Bhardwaj informs, "Recently there have been several instances where the agencies like ED issued summons to lawyers, for ED, the summons were withdrawn, in our case, the Gujarat Police had issued summon to an advocate with respect to his role as an advocate, we approached the SC against the order of the HC, the SC has not only stayed those summon, but restrained the state to take any coercive action, moreover, the SC has also summoned other relevant bodies like the Bar Council of India, Union of India, Attorney General, Solicitor General, with respect to the bigger question of law whether an advocate can be questioned or summoned with respect to his role as an advocate, whether there should be a judicial oversight with respect to that, the matter has been referred to the CJI for further orders... An advocate plays role in criminal justice system, he has the information, if he questioned, then it will against the accused right to fair trial... It can affect the criminal justice system... The SC said there should be guidelines."

@LegalTL 1. Constitutional Interpretations went for a toss now.
2. Procedure followed by Police and Courts, staff etc becomes a task now.
3. Big rise in technical objections, then revisions appeals etc.
4. All legal texts books and additional secondary material become useless.
