Purpose of Arbitration Act-The purpose of Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (‘the Act’) is to provide quick redressal to commercial dispute by private Arbitration. Quick decision of any commercial dispute is necessary for smooth functioning of business and industry. Internationally, it is accepted that normally commercial disputes should be solved through arbitration and not through normal judicial system. An arbitrator is basically a private judge appointed with consent of both the parties. He is expected to give his decisions quickly as he is not bound by the technical formalities of a court. In India, the need of arbitration is more because of very heavy burden on the judicial system and huge backlog of pending cases.

Essential Feature of Guarantee-Recoverable Debt Necessary – The purpose of a guarantee being to secure the repayment of a debt, the existence of a recoverable debt is necessary. It is of the essence of a guarantee that there should be someone liable as a principal debtor and the surety undertakes to be liable on his default. If there is no principal debt, there can be no valid guarantee. A contract of guarantee is a tripartite agreement which contemplates the principal debtor, the creditor and the surety.
