KHALEEL AHMED DAKHANI vs THE HATTI GOLD MINES CO.LTD.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, an arbitral award can only be set aside on specific grounds, including incapacity of a party or invalidity of the arbitration agreement. The Court found that the High Court erred in setting aside the orders of the Principal District Judge regarding the attachment of the respondent's properties, as the arbitration proceedings were validly conducted. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the attachment orders issued by the Principal District Judge.
