Stamp Act Not Enacted To Arm Litigant With “Weapon Of Technicality”: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court ruled that the Stamp Act is not intended to arm litigants with technicalities to avoid compliance. In an arbitration-related case, the court emphasized the purpose of the Stamp Act, focusing on the substantive justice rather than exploiting procedural shortcomings. The judgment discourages litigants from using the Act as a loophole to evade responsibility and underscores the court's commitment to fairness in arbitration processes.
