A Division Bench of SC has criticized the intervention made by the High Court in arbitration proceedings. The SC has explicitly held that the High Court under its writ jurisdiction can intervene in arbitration proceedings only when the order of the arbitral tribunal is patently perverse.
In the present case, the High Court had directed the arbitral tribunal to grant additional time to one of the parties to cross-examine even when the arbitral tribunal had provided sufficient time to cross-examine the witnesses in accordance with the equity principle under Section 18 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 (the Act).
The SC noted that the High Court in its decision couldn’t identify the perversity in the decision of the arbitral tribunal. Furthermore, the SC stated that when equal opportunity was provided to both the parties in accordance with Section 18 of the Act, the High Court should have restrained its interference in arbitration proceedings.
