Section 9 Arbitration Act | Post-Award Interim Relief Requires 'Exceptional Circumstances' Beyond Arguable Challenge : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court rules that continuation of post-award interim protection, such as a bank guarantee, under Section 9 of the Arbitration Act demands proof of 'exceptional circumstances'-not merely an arguable challenge to the award. The judgment reinforces the binding nature of consent terms and mandates full disclosure in discretionary proceedings, limiting the scope of post-award relief for parties seeking to extend interim measures.
