What did Bar Council of India v. A.K. Balaji (2018) hold about foreign lawyers conducting arbitration…

The Court said "there is no absolute right of the foreign lawyer to conduct arbitration proceedings" in such disputes. Where institutional arbitration rules apply or the matter is covered by the Arbitration Act, foreign lawyers "may not be debarred", in view of sections 32 and 33 of the Advocates Act. Even then they are governed by the code of conduct for the legal profession in India.
