Former SC judge Sanjay Kishan Kaul appointed to Bahrain commercial court
Hindustan TimesFormer Supreme Court judge, justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, has been appointed by Bahrain King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa as part of the nine-member judicial panel of the Bahrain International Commercial Court. Justice Kaul, who retired from the Supreme Court on December 25 last year, is the only Indian judge on the panel with leading arbitrator Jan Paulsson as president and former International Court of Justice judge of British origin Sir Christopher Greenwood as deputy to the president. The BICC is modelled on the Singapore International Commercial Court in the pursuit of transnational justice and has been conceived with a vision to make Bahrain a premier hub for international dispute resolution. As part of a 9-judge bench in Just KS Puttaswamy v Union of India, justice Kaul in his concurring majority opinion held privacy to be a fundamental right.
