Arbitration clause in unstamped, insufficiently stamped agreements enforceable: SC

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 13 December 2023

The court held that non-stamping of an agreement does not render it void but inadmissible as evidence. The court stated that objections regarding stamping fall within the ambit of the arbitral tribunal.
