High Court's Interference Under Article 226/227 Permissible Only If Arbitral Tribunal's Order Is Patently Perverse : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that High Courts can only interfere with arbitral tribunal orders under Articles 226 or 227 of the Constitution if the decision is "patently perverse." The case revolved around a challenge to an arbitral award where the petitioner sought judicial intervention. The Court emphasized that while arbitration provides parties with autonomy, courts should limit their interference and only intervene in cases where the award is irrational, manifestly unjust, or in violation of the law. This ruling aims to protect the integrity of the arbitration process and prevent unnecessary delays by judicial overreach.
