Since an arbitral award is final, it cannot be "appealed" on its merits. However, it can be "Set Aside" by a court under very narrow grounds specified in Section 34 of he Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996
Incapacity: A party to the agreement was under some incapacity.
Invalid Agreement: The arbitration agreement was not valid under the law.
Lack of Notice: The party was not given proper notice of the appointment of the arbitrator or the proceedings.
Jurisdictional Error: The award deals with a dispute not contemplated by or not falling within the terms of the submission to arbitration.
Public Policy: The court finds that the award is in conflict with the Public Policy of India (e.g., it involves fraud, corruption, or violates fundamental legal principles).
Patent Illegality: For domestic awards, if there is a glaring error of law visible on the face of the award.
