Section 36 Arbitration Act | Mandatory Deposit of Full Award Amount for Stay Unless Exceptional Circumstances Proved : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court reinforces that parties seeking a stay on arbitration award enforcement must deposit the full award amount under Section 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, unless they prove the award is egregiously perverse or fraud-tainted. The ruling clarifies that unconditional stays are an exception, not the norm, impacting businesses and litigants challenging arbitral awards.
