‘Anything the Court can see; the opposing party must be allowed to see’; Bombay High Court sets aside Arbitral Award over redacted disclosures

The Court categorically held that allowing parties to squirrel some information into the court record “in sealed cover” undermines every concept of fair justice and openness and transparency in the decision-making process.
