Writ Jurisdiction is limited in Arbitration proceedings

The Hon’ble Supreme Court, while reiterating their judgment in the case of Deep Industries, made the following observations regarding writ jurisdiction in arbitration proceedings in the case of Navyuga Engineering Company versus Bangalore Metro Rail: “High Court under Article 226 and 227 should be extremely circumspect in interfering with orders passed under the Arbitration Act, such interference being only in cases of exceptional rarity or cases which are stated to be patently lacking in inherent jurisdiction, we find that High Courts are interfering with deposit orders that have been made. This is not a case of exceptional rarity or of any patent lack of inherent jurisdiction.”
