INTRODUCTION:
This is a landmark case of the Supreme Court of India dealing with the scope of Judicial power to modify arbitral awards under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996[1]. Our Arbitration Law is based on the principles of minimal judicial intervention, party autonomy, and finality of the arbitral awards. When courts are confronted with arbitral awards that are largely valid but suffer from limited defects requiring modifications, the viewpoints of Courts divided into two different standings, where some decisions strictly denied arbitral modification power to rest with the general courts, while other decisions permitted limited alteration in the interest of justice. Here, confusion and uncertainty arose, and therefore, the Supreme Court constituted a Constitutional bench to settle the law over this matter and provide a balance between arbitral autonomy and judicial oversight.

INTRODUCTION:
From ancient times to the contemporary era, we have seen a lot of variations in single systems, and we welcome each and every change to welcome our new self. We are all aware that every system has various paths to achieve it. It changes according to the time we live in. Change according to time is a way of modernizing yourself. This applies to India as well, where we are coping with all our problems with modern solutions, and so we are here with this new aspect, which may shape our country’s economy, people’s lifestyle, policy making, and whatnot. Yes, the system of One Nation, One Election, is not very new to us, actually. But first, let’s know what exactly this phrase means. Recently, on 26th November 2020, our presiding officers proposed the idea of the One Nation, One Election, along with that, our Chief Justice of India also gave an acceptance to the former in December 2020. This has widened in such a manner, the BJP has also started Webinars, to aware the public on this system.

ABSTRACT:
Insolvency and Bankruptcy are not the same, but they are two sides of the same coin. Insolvency is a state of economic distress, whereas Bankruptcy is a court order that decides how an insolvent debtor will deal with unpaid obligations, which usually involves selling assets to pay the creditors and erasing debts that can’t be paid. Bankruptcy can severely damage a debtor’s credit rating and ability to borrow for years. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016[1], is the bankruptcy law of India, which seeks to consolidate the existing framework by creating a single law for insolvency and bankruptcy.

ABSTRACT:
For a nation like India, modernization of the judiciary is probably going to help overcome its issues of a burgeoning backlog, increasing overdue debts, and unprecedented postponements in the disposal of cases. For any justice system to stay successful, effective, and significant, it must keep up with the requests of a modern society and constantly reform its mechanical assembly and methods of functioning. Modernization of the judiciary incorporates the comprehensive computerization of courts and the digitization of administrations. Computerization and digitization of the judiciary in India have been embraced under a few plans and ventures since at least 1990. The e-Courts project is the latest, and apparently, the most ambitious, endeavour to present ICT in the Indian judiciary. It seeks greater standardization in judicial processing, progressive service delivery, and procedure change of legal work, dependent on empirical data. In 1990, the National Informatics Centre (NIC) began the computerization of Indian courts with the Supreme Court of India. Specially designed applications implemented under the COURTIS (Court Information System) project enabled the computerization of routine activities such as filing of cases, generation of cause lists and order sheets, issuance of orders and judgments.
