Arbitration cannot result in arbitrary measures: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has clarified that while arbitration may sound similar to "arbitrary," it cannot produce arbitrary measures. The Court scrapped an arbitral proceeding after the tribunal issued sweeping interim orders despite facing clear objections to its appointment and allegations of links with one of the parties involved.

The judgment emphasizes the need for arbitral tribunals to respect procedural propriety and impartiality in their operations. The decision underscores the judiciary's role in ensuring that alternative dispute resolution mechanisms do not undermine principles of fairness and due process.
