Parties Can't Be Barred From Performing Contractual Obligations In Final Partial Award When It Remains In Force: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court has ruled that parties cannot be prevented from performing contractual obligations as interpreted in a final partial award when both award and contract remain in force. This decision underscores the sanctity of arbitral awards and ongoing contracts. The court emphasized that once an arbitration tribunal issues a partial award interpreting certain contractual obligations, and that award is not set aside, parties must adhere to its terms for the remainder of the contract, promoting judicial enforcement of arbitration outcomes.
