India's Legal Shifts: Arbitration, Mediation, and Consumer Rulings

A series of recent Indian legal developments highlight shifts across multiple domains. The Bombay High Court upheld an arbitral award in a property dispute while Karnataka's High Court quashed a Commercial Court order. Meanwhile, a GC panel warned that mediation remains underused, and a Supreme Court justice cautioned that family‑mediation could exacerbate risks for women facing domestic violence. Additional updates include a tourism push to lesser‑known destinations, the re‑appointment of a District Consumer Commission president, and a National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ruling that a later cancer diagnosis alone does not prove medical negligence.
