When an attachment warrant issued by an arbitrator is received at a District Court, the court must follow specific procedures to register and execute it. This process is governed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 and the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC). This article outlines the steps involved in handling arbitration attachment warrants and provides insights into relevant case laws.
Under Section 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, an arbitral award is treated as a decree of the court. However, arbitral tribunals cannot enforce their orders directly. To enforce an attachment warrant issued by an arbitrator, it must first be registered with the District Court and executed as per CPC procedures.
