Section 7 of the Arbitration Act 1996 lays the foundations for an arbitration agreement. It stipulates that the agreement must be in writing and that it can be either a separate agreement or part of the clauses of the main agreement. Unless there is a particular reason for choosing an ad hoc arbitral tribunal, you indicate an arbitral institution that manages the arbitration in order to clarify the arbitration procedure, including the appointment of arbitrators and ongoing assistance. Ad hoc arbitration proceedings in India are usually followed by Indian judicial practices and procedures, which are unknown and often distressing in the international context. In ad hoc arbitrations, retired judges of the Supreme Court or Supreme Court are usually chosen as arbitrators. In some cases, especially when the amount of exposure is lower, practicing lawyers are appointed by the parties. In the case of arbitration proceedings on technical or complex subjects, technical experts are often selected within the framework of the arbitral tribunal. In the case of institutional arbitration, the arbitral tribunal shall be composed of arbitrators of the arbitral tribunal of the institutions concerned. Arbitrators may be appointed by mutual agreement between the parties on the basis of the technical expertise required in the case. . .
