https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=310557 Arbitral procedure under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act requires equal treatment and a full opportunity to present the case, but that right is not unlimited. A tribunal may regulate procedure and decline a belated request to reopen evidence or seek expert assistance, especially where repeated adjournments were already granted and the request came after evidence had closed. A disputed document cannot be treated as proved evidence, and the tribunal is not obliged to appoint an expert on its own. Allegations of bias must be supported by a timely and substantive challenge and cannot rest on an adverse award alone; absent material showing prejudice or partiality, the award was upheld and the Section 34 petitions were dismissed. en-us Thu, 14 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 31 Oct 2023 10:05:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=310557 Arbitral procedure under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act requires equal treatment and a full opportunity to present the case, but that right is not unlimited.
