https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=306722 Section 31(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 is treated as permitting an arbitral tribunal to make an interim award on an admitted claim, including a claim analogous to a judgment on admission under Order XII Rule 6 CPC. A quantified liability stated in the defence and then described as adjusted against the other side's claim was regarded as a clear, positive and unequivocal admission to that extent. The label of adjustment, as distinct from set-off or counterclaim, did not defeat the admitted character of the sum or bar interim relief for it. The commentary notes that a separate counterclaim does not prevent an interim award on the admitted amount. en-us Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 17:15:24 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=306722 Section 31(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 is treated as permitting an arbitral tribunal to make an interim award on an admitted claim, including a claim analogous to a judgment on admission under Order XII Rule 6 CPC.
