CJI BR Gavai to inaugurate Indian Council of Arbitration's 3rd Conference in London
New Delhi, May 26 (UNI) In a significant step toward strengthening international legal cooperation, the Indian Council of Arbitration (ICA) is set to host its 3rd International Legal Conference on 'Arbitrating Indo-UK Commercial Disputes: Synergising India-UK Arbitration practices' on June 5, at the historic Church House, Westminster, in London. Chief Justice of India, BR Gavai will inaugurate the event.
The event will be organised as part of the prestigious London International Disputes Week 2025 (LIDW25).
Besides inauguration by CJI BR Gavai, the Conference will feature keynote addresses by the Union Minister for Law and Justice, Arjun Ram Meghwal, and Rt. Hon. Lord Briggs, Justice of the UK Supreme Court.
The high-level gathering will bring together a distinguished lineup of legal experts, senior policymakers, institutional heads, and arbitration professionals from both India and the United Kingdom.
Discussions will focus on the evolving dynamics of cross-border dispute resolution, best practices in institutional arbitration, and the prospects for deeper legal and regulatory convergence between the two jurisdictions.
The conference comes at a strategically important juncture in India-UK legal and economic relations.
It follows the recent finalisation of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the Bar Council of India's notification dated May 14, 2025, permitting foreign lawyers and law firms to practice foreign law in India on a reciprocal basis, two landmark developments that are expected to reshape the contours of transnational legal practice.
By addressing the emerging challenges and opportunities in Indo-UK arbitration, the ICA aims to foster a robust, harmonised dispute resolution ecosystem that can effectively support growing bilateral trade and investment.
The event is expected to serve as a forward-looking platform for enhancing legal certainty, institutional trust, and commercial confidence between the two countries.

G Square Group announces mega township project in Coimbatore
Hyderabad, June 7 (UNI) G Square Group, a leading South Indian real estate developer, on Saturday announced G Square Seven Hills, an expansive township project in Coimbatore. The project combines plots and mixed-use development, the company said in a release. The acquisition of the 714- acre project from Rakindo for ₹707 crore, marked the latest in a series of major investments transforming Coimbatore into a premier real estate destination. This comes after other recent investments in the region, such as Astrea Real Estate Developers' (a Phoenix Mills subsidiary) purchase of 9.03 acres for retail development, L&T's commitment for a world-class IT park and Capgemini's investment creating over 1,500 jobs at Elcot SEZ. The Kovai Hills project, now rebranded as G Square Seven Hills, spans 714 acres with Phase 1 covering 406 acres and featuring 3,127 DTCP and RERA-approved premium plots. The remaining 308 acres are designated for joint ventures with signature villa and apartment developers, built-to-suit IT infrastructure projects, including commercial leasing and business parks, malls and multiplexes. Strategically positioned along the Western Ghats adjacent to the Palakkad Gap in Kovaipudhur near Madukkarai, this naturally elevated township project offers panoramic views of Coimbatore while spanning Perur, Chettipalayam, Sundakkamuthur, and Theethipalayam. Located at the edge of reserve forests, the township benefits from lower ambient temperatures, creating a naturally cooler microclimate with lush greenery that drives strong appreciation potential for early investors. Speaking on the announcement, Bala Ramajeyam, Founder and Managing Director of G Square Group, said, 'We are pleased to announce our mega Seven Hills project in Coimbatore. As an expanding player in real estate, our goal is to offer premium, ready-to-build plots in key locations. Coimbatore's rapid growth and investor confidence make it the perfect market for our business plans". G Square is also open to larger JV partners to participate in developing commercial and residential developments within this 714-acre township, he said The development is ideally positioned to attract spiritual tourists and wellness seekers traveling to destinations like Isha Yoga Centre, a popular wellness destination, religious hotspots like Guruvayoor and Sabarimala – the gateway to Kerala, he added. With over 15,000 happy customers across South India, G Square's footprint spans Chennai, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tirunelveli, Tuticorin, Trichy, Pollachi, Hosur, Mysuru, Ballari, and more.

Lammy meets PM Modi, pushes UK-India counter-terrorism cooperation and trade deal
British Foreign Minister David Lammy is the highest-profile Western official to have visited both New Delhi and Islamabad since the South Asian neighbours agreed to a ceasefire last month after their worst fighting in nearly three decades. read more Britain and India held talks on strengthening their counter-terrorism cooperation in the wake of recent cross-border clashes between India and Pakistan, UK Foreign Minister David Lammy told Reuters on Saturday following a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Lammy's visit makes him the most senior Western official to travel to both New Delhi and Islamabad since the South Asian rivals agreed to a ceasefire on May 10, ending their most intense period of conflict in nearly 30 years. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Thank you Prime Minister @narendramodi for your warm welcome to India. Building on the free trade agreement between our great countries, we will continue working together to deepen our partnership, celebrate our unique living bridge, and deliver growth and security. — David Lammy (@DavidLammy) June 7, 2025 Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed the need for decisive international action against terrorism and those supporting it in a meeting with Lammy. The Prime Minister's Office said Lammy strongly condemned the Pahalgam terror attack. PM Modi expressed satisfaction at the successful conclusion of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement and Double Contribution Convention and appreciated the constructive engagement by both sides that led to this milestone. Pleased to meet UK Foreign Secretary Mr. David Lammy. Appreciate his substantive contribution to the remarkable progress in our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, further strengthened by the recently concluded FTA. Value UK's support for India's fight against cross-border… — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) June 7, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The PMO statement said Modi welcomed the growing momentum in bilateral ties and expressed satisfaction at the deepening of the India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. He welcomed the continued collaboration under the Technology Security Initiative and noted its potential to shape trusted and secure innovation ecosystems. Tensions had surged in April after 26 people were killed in India's Kashmir, an incident India blamed on Pakistan-backed militants, which Islamabad denied. In response, India launched strikes on what it described as terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan, prompting retaliatory moves and escalation until both countries agreed to halt hostilities. 'We want the situation to be maintained, but of course we recognise fragility, particularly in the backdrop of terrorism, terrorism designed to destabilise India,' Lammy said in an interview at the residence of the British High Commissioner in New Delhi. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We are keen to continue to work with our Indian partners on counter-terrorism measures.' He said he discussed the next steps with both Modi and Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar, but gave no specifics. Last year, India and Britain discussed combating the financing of terrorism, cooperation between law enforcement and judicial bodies and information sharing. Lammy said he also discussed boosting trade between the world's fifth and sixth largest economies. The countries concluded talks for a free trade deal early last month. 'I know that Prime Minister Keir Starmer is very much looking forward to coming to India very soon to sign the free trade agreement,' Lammy said. 'There is so much that our two nations can continue to do together.' With inputs from agencies
