Section 17 Arbitration Act | Right to Inspect Firm Records Upheld Pending Arbitration Despite Disputed Partnership Status: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court affirms that an arbitral tribunal's interim order under Section 17 of the Arbitration Act mandates disclosure of partnership records, even when the partner's status is contested. The ruling reinforces that access to firm documents is a substantive right, not contingent on final determination of partnership disputes, ensuring transparency in ongoing arbitration.
