Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 preserves the court's power to order interim measures, including injunctions and appointment of a receiver, before or during arbitral proceedings. A party seeking reference to arbitration must proceed under Section 8(1); the mere pendency of a Section 8 application does not render interim orders without jurisdiction.
