CJI proposes an International Arbitration Centre in Hyderabad

Discussions held with Singapore Chief Justice on the subject, says Justice Ramana

An International Arbitration Centre (IAC) in Hyderabad would be reality if the State government was ready to provide infrastructural facilities, said Chief Justice of India N. V. Ramana on Tuesday. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, in an informal discussion with Telangana High Court legal correspondents at Raj Bhavan here, said bringing the IAC to Hyderabad was his dream. Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhara Rao readily agreed to create all facilities required to set it up in Hyderabad. One such centre is already operational in Singapore. The CJI, who was in Hyderabad on a three-day visit to the State, explained that he held consultations with Singapore Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon during the latter’s recent visit to Delhi on setting up an IAC in Hyderabad.
