Statutory appellate jurisdiction over refusal of court-ordered...

Statutory appellate jurisdiction over refusal of court-ordered interim measures remains exclusively with the court designated under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. An Arbitral Tribunal's power to grant interim measures cannot be converted into appellate jurisdiction over a court's interim-measure order, even with party consent. Accordingly, remitting a pending statutory appeal to a subsequently constituted Tribunal for treatment as an interim-measures application was set aside. Following the Tribunal's constitution, parties may independently seek legally available interim protection before it, while remaining disputes proceed to arbitration.
