My uncle and I are facing a property dispute and we’ve chosen an arbitrator to settle it. The arbitrator has given me a favorable award on the 10th of October. What are the next steps to get this award enforced? How long will it take, and what’s the fastest way to finally resolve this matter?

You need to file an application with the designated court under Section 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, to enforce the arbitral award. The court will issue a decree, typically within a few months, making the award legally binding. To expedite the process, ensure your application is complete and supported by evidence.
