https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=290777 A demarcation report arising wholly from conciliation proceedings was held inadmissible because Sections 75 and 81 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 protect the confidentiality of matters connected with conciliation. Section 75 was read broadly, covering all material "relating to" conciliation, and Section 81 was treated as reinforcing that confidentiality in later arbitral or judicial proceedings. Even though the report did not fit neatly within each illustrative category in Section 81, its direct origin in conciliation meant it could not be relied on in evidence. The challenge succeeded and the impugned judgment was set aside. en-us Wed, 23 Aug 2017 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 12:20:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=290777 A demarcation report arising wholly from conciliation proceedings was held inadmissible because Sections 75 and 81 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 protect the confidentiality of matters connected with conciliation.
