Fuerst Day Lawson Ltd vs Jindal Exports Ltd

The Supreme Court addressed whether an order not appealable under Section 50 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 could still be appealed under the Letters Patent of the High Court. The Court held that if the 1996 Act is viewed as a complete code governing arbitration matters, then the jurisdiction of the High Court under its Letters Patent would be excluded. Conversely, if the Act does not cover all aspects, appeals under the Letters Patent may be maintainable. The outcome affirmed the High Court's dismissal of appeals as not maintainable.
