Contempt of Courts Act | Aggrieved Party Can Initiate Contempt for Arbitral Order Violations Without Formal Tribunal Reference : Meghalaya HC
Meghalaya High Court rules that contempt proceedings under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act are maintainable for arbitral order violations even without a formal tribunal reference, provided the aggrieved party files a petition and the tribunal acknowledges the breach. This expands enforcement avenues for parties in arbitration disputes where tribunals lack contempt powers.
