Tripathi, published by Central Law Publications, is a student's textbook on arbitration and ADR written for the LL.B. and B.A. LL.B. courses.

The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (With Alternative Means of Settlement of Disputes) by Dr. S.C. Tripathi, published by Central Law Publications, is a students' textbook on arbitration and alternative dispute resolution written for the LL.B. and B.A. LL.B. courses. This is the 9th Edition.
Arbitration is taught in Indian law schools as a subject in its own right, and the examiner expects the Act to be known section by section. Dr Tripathi's books are on reading lists across the country because they do exactly that: they follow the statute in order, explain each provision in plain language, and place it in the wider context of how disputes are settled outside the courtroom.
Structure of the Book
The book follows the scheme of the Act:
- Part I — Arbitration. The arbitration agreement and its effect; reference of parties to arbitration; interim measures; the composition of the arbitral tribunal, appointment and challenge of arbitrators; the jurisdiction of the tribunal and the principle of competence-competence; the conduct of arbitral proceedings; the making of the arbitral award and termination of proceedings; recourse against an award and the grounds for setting it aside; the finality and enforcement of awards; and appeals.
- Part II — Enforcement of Certain Foreign Awards. New York Convention awards and Geneva Convention awards, and the conditions on which a foreign award is enforceable in India.
- Part III — Conciliation. Appointment of conciliators, the role of the conciliator, the conduct of conciliation proceedings, settlement agreements and their status, and confidentiality.
- Part IV — Supplementary Provisions.
Alternative Means of Settlement of Disputes
Alongside the Act, the book deals with the other mechanisms grouped under alternative dispute resolution — negotiation, mediation, conciliation and Lok Adalats — and with the place ADR occupies in Indian civil justice, including reference to ADR by the courts.

Why Choose This Book?
Practitioners' commentaries on the Arbitration and Conciliation Act run to thousands of pages and are written for counsel arguing a case, not for a student preparing a paper. A concise textbook that moves through the Act in sequence, explains the scheme rather than every reported decision, and adds the ADR material the syllabus requires is a far more practical companion for coursework and examinations — and a clear first read before turning to the larger works.
