https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=306721 Section 31(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act empowers an arbitral tribunal to issue an interim award on matters that could form part of a final award. A pending counter claim does not, by itself, prevent the tribunal from granting interim relief on an admitted liability, because a counter claim is treated as an independent claim. The legality of the interim award must be assessed on the material supporting the admitted claim, not merely on the existence of unresolved disputes. On that basis, interference under Section 34 was held unwarranted absent patent illegality or perversity. en-us Fri, 08 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 17:07:52 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=306721 Section 31(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act empowers an arbitral tribunal to issue an interim award on matters that could form part of a final award.
