"I realise that some of my criticisms may be mistaken; but to refuse to criticize judgements for fear of being mistaken is to abandon criticism altogether... If any of my criticisms are found to be correct, the cause is served; and if any are found to be incorrect the very process of finding out my mistakes must lead to the discovery of the right reasons, or better reasons than I have been able to give, and the cause is served just as well."

-Mr. HM Seervai, Preface to the 1st ed., Constitutional Law of India.

Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Bill 2018

The Government's plan to introduce the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Bill, 2018 amending the existing law on the subject has received attention in the news. The Bill as approved by the Cabinet was not available in the public domain. The Bill was planned to be introduced in the Lok Sabha on 28 March 2018 but owing to the disturbances, the proceedings in the Lok Sabha were adjourned to 2 April 2018. 

But a purported version of the Bill is available online and is available here. We are not sure this Bill will be introduced in the Lok Sabha in the same form. We will provide the link to the official version of the Bill when it is made available in the website of the Lok Sabha. Meanwhile, readers can peruse through the Bill in its present form (purportedly).
