Summary

Goldmines Telefims Pvt Ltd filed an arbitration petition under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 against Vijay Chandar. The arbitral tribunal had earlier granted interim relief in the matter. The High Court was asked to determine whether that interim relief would continue to operate while the arbitral proceedings were pending. The Court held that the interim relief would remain in force until the arbitral tribunal either modifies or vacates it, or until the tribunal’s proceedings are disposed of, whichever occurs first. Accordingly, the Court ordered that the earlier interim relief continue to be effective.
