Petition Under Article 227 Not Maintainable Against Orders Of Tribunal When Remedies U/S 34 & 37 Of Arbitration Act Are Available: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court ruled that petitions under Article 227 of the Constitution are not maintainable against orders of arbitral tribunals when remedies under Sections 34 and 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act are available. The court emphasized that the Arbitration Act is a self-contained code providing specific remedies for challenging arbitral awards and tribunal orders. The case involved a challenge to an arbitral tribunal’s order, and the court reiterated that judicial intervention should be minimal to respect the autonomy of the arbitration process. This decision reinforces the principle of limited judicial interference in arbitration, ensuring that parties adhere to the statutory remedies provided within the Arbitration Act.
