In a decision on the scope of writ jurisdiction in the context of arbitration proceedings, the Supreme Court of India
(“Supreme Court”), in M/s Tarini Prasad Mohanty vs. M/s Sunflag Iron and Steel Company Limited,1 has held that
the exercise of writ jurisdiction under Articles 2262 and 2273 of the Constitution of India (“Constitution”) to set aside
an order passed under Section 164 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (“Arbitration Act”) was not justified,
particularly where the arbitrator was seized of the arbitration proceedings.
