Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether an amendment to the memorandum of appeal under Section 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, to introduce new grounds is permissible. The Court held that such amendments can be allowed if they do not change the nature of the appeal or introduce a new case. The ruling clarified the scope of permissible amendments in arbitration appeals, emphasizing the need for judicial discretion in allowing such changes.
