Lucknow Court Directs FIR Registration On Ex-IPS Officer Amitabh Thakur's Plea Against 'Hateful' Social Media Posts

The Delhi High Court ruled that Section 21F of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act is non-derogable and cannot be excluded by mutual consent of the parties. The case involved an arbitration clause where parties sought to exclude the applicability of this section. The court clarified that certain provisions of the Act, like Section 21F, are mandatory and cannot be waived by mutual agreement. This ruling strengthens the enforceability of arbitration laws and ensures that certain procedural aspects cannot be bypassed.
