A party cannot simply raise an objection on the ground of patent illegality if the Arbitration Award is against them – Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Ltd. (DFCCIL) Vs. Tata Aldesa JV – Delhi High Court
Hon’ble High Court held that it is settled law that the ground of patent illegality gives way to setting aside an Arbitral Award with a very minimal scope of intervention. A party cannot simply raise an objection on the ground of patent illegality if the Award is against them. Patent illegality requires a distinct transgression of law, the clear lack of which makes the petition a pointless effort of objection towards an Award passed by a competent Arbitral Tribunal.
