Equitable Jurisdiction Under Section 9 Arbitration Act | Court Receiver Cannot Be Discharged Without Adjudicating Consent Award Disputes: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court rules that a Court Receiver appointed under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, cannot be discharged without first adjudicating substantive disputes arising from a Consent Award, even after 23 years of custody. The decision underscores that equitable considerations override procedural delays in property disputes under arbitration.
