Supreme Court Invalidates Arbitration Over Arbitrary Interim Orders
The Supreme Court invalidated an arbitration proceeding after a tribunal issued sweeping interim orders despite objections to its appointment and alleged links with one party. The court found no evidence of consent from the appellants for the tribunal's formation and described the interim orders—freezing bank accounts and allowing possession of properties—as arbitrary. The ruling arose from a dispute between Arth Micro Finance Pvt Ltd and Shivalik Small Finance Bank Ltd under an arbitration clause, emphasizing that arbitration cannot produce arbitrary outcomes.
