On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled on most of the judgment that the courts have the power to regulate the arbitration award in limited circumstances.
The main judge of India Sanjiv Khanna, aimed at the five judges of the constitutional bench, created a majority of 4: 1 that the courts were authorized in accordance with Section 34 of the Arbitration and the Conciliation Act of 1996 to change the Arbitrations for limited reasons.
The court’s regulations were entitled to amputate the invalid part of the price from the valid part or to get rid of the apparent typographic, calculation, administrative errors in the price or if the interest after the price must be changed.
“The scope of the court intervention under section 34 is limited to limited reasons explicitly determined. The court has no power to remedy errors, re -evaluate costs, or participate in the review of the arbitration award,” said the majority judgment.
The chief judge Khanna ruled that the Supreme Court had been authorized to bend his own powers pursuant to Article 142 of the Constitution to perform complete justice in the case of the arbitration award. However, the judgment warned that this power must be performed with great care and caution and within the limits of constitutional power.
“As regards Article 142 of the Constitution, the exercise of this power must be in accordance with the basic principles and objectives behind the 1996 law and not in their determination or in their suppression,” said Chief Judge Khanna.
According to his disapproving opinion, judge KV Viswanathan decided that the arbitration award could not be regulated if the Arbitration Act explicitly authorized.
“When exercising powers under Section 34 of the 1996 Act, and therefore the courts in the appellate hierarchy do not have the power to regulate the arbitration award,” Judge Viswanathan organized.
The opinion of the justice of Viswanathan reflected the opinion of the center, represented by the general official Tushar Mehta, who claimed that the authority must be statutorically awarded.
Attorneys who argued against the jurisdiction of the court to modify the modifications that this would result in court orders and decrees replacing the arbitration award. “The judicial decree cannot replace the arbitration award, especially if the price is examined according to the limited jurisdiction of section 34,” they said.
Judge Viswanathan said that Section 34 dealt only with “postponing” and the arbitration awarded by court orders.
“The power will not intend to include the power to modify, because the force for adjustment is not less energy that is canceled in power,” Viswanathan said.
Section 34 made it possible to address the court to cancel the arbitration award for several reasons, including whether it has been found that this prize is against public policy or in violation of Indian law policy or caused by fraud or corruption, or contrary to the basic ideas of morality and justice.
However, the judgment of the majority mentioned several cases where the Top Court itself was forced to regulate the arbitration award to minimize the lengthy litigation and support the objectives of justice. EOM
