Arbitration and Conciliation Act Section 50 — Appealable orders

CHAPTER I — New York Convention Awards

Civil

Summary

Sub-section (1) states that, despite anything in any other current law, an appeal is allowed against an order that refuses to do either of two things: first, to refer the parties to arbitration under section 45, or second, to enforce a foreign award under section 48. This appeal must be made to the court that is authorised by law to hear appeals from such an order.

Sub-section (2) says that no second appeal is allowed from an order passed in an appeal under this section. However, this does not affect or take away any right to appeal to the Supreme Court.
