Section 9 Arbitration Act | Unsuccessful Party Can Seek Post-Award Bank Guarantee Extension: Bombay HC Follows SC’s Home Care Retail Ruling

Bombay High Court rules that an unsuccessful party in arbitration can seek interim relief under Section 9 to extend a bank guarantee securing awarded liquidated damages, aligning with the Supreme Court’s recent precedent in Home Care Retail Marts. The decision clarifies that post-award relief is not barred merely because the applicant lost the arbitration, expanding access to protective measures during challenge proceedings.
