DELTA DISTILLERIES LTD. vs UNITED SPIRITS LIMITED

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 27 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, which allows a party to seek court assistance in taking evidence during arbitration proceedings. The Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to allow the respondent to request the appellant to produce documents before the Arbitral Tribunal, affirming that such assistance is permissible under the statute when necessary for the arbitration process. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's order.
