S.2(1)(f) Is Non-Derogable, Applicability Cannot Be Excluded Even By Mutual Consent Of Parties: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court set aside a claim of Rs. 15 lakh awarded by an arbitral tribunal due to lack of evidence. The case involved a dispute where an arbitral tribunal had awarded compensation, but the court found that the evidence presented was insufficient to justify the claim. The court ruled that the award lacked a factual basis and could not stand. This decision highlights the importance of providing solid evidence in arbitration proceedings and ensures that awards are made based on clear, verifiable evidence.
