Supreme Court Clarifies Scope of Inquiry in Section 9 Petition

The Supreme Court has clarified the scope of inquiry in a Section 9 petition under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court held that the scope of inquiry in such a petition is limited and does not extend to the interpretation of the contract. This ruling has significant implications for the arbitration process, as it ensures that the scope of inquiry in Section 9 petitions is narrowly defined and does not encroach upon the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal.
