While dismissing an appeal against the arbitral tribunal’s order injuncting the encashment of bank guarantee, the Madras High Court has applied the “irretrievable injustice” ground and has also summarized the law on the issue.
It said that the relief under Section 17 ACA is discretionary , and the reasons given by the tribunal were sound and justifiable and for those reasons the appellate court would not interfere with an interim order of an arbitral tribunal
The court also noted that the though the recitals disclosed that the bank a clause made it clear that the indemnification under the guarantee was only for any liability of damages resulting from any defects or shortcomings.
