The Interplay between Section 17 and Section 9 of Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996
This paper examines the interplay between these two Sections, analysing their scopes, overlaps and procedural distinctions Section 9 allows parties to approach the judiciary for interim relief, thus ensuring the preservation of rights and status quo until arbitration concludes. Section 17, by entrusting tribunals with similar powers, seeks to streamline the arbitration process by reducing dependence on courts.
