https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=105698 The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 was treated as a self-contained code limiting judicial interference during arbitral proceedings. A challenge to an arbitrator must first be pursued within the arbitral process under section 13, and if it fails, the aggrieved party may later challenge the award under section 34. The absence of a provision for court removal of an arbitrator during pending proceedings did not make sections 13(3) and 13(4) unconstitutional.
