Interim relief in arbitration was left undisturbed, with parties directed to pursue their Section 17 submissions before the tribunal.

Interference with interim orders passed under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act was declined while the Section 17 application remained pending before the Arbitral Tribunal. The Court left the parties to advance their submissions before the Tribunal and disposed of the special leave petitions, indicating that the interim arrangement should be addressed in the ongoing arbitral process rather than disturbed at that stage.
