Nariman and Navin Sinha, JJ observed that Parliament may consider amending Section 34 of the Act so as to consolidate all interim awards together with the final arbitral award, so that one challenge under Section 34 can be made after delivery of the final arbitral award.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cPiecemeal challenges like piecemeal awards lead to unnecessary delay and additional expense.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Explaining the scheme of Section 32(1) of the Act, the bench said that as per the said provision, the arbitral proceedings would be terminated only by the final arbitral award, as opposed to an interim award, thus making it clear that there can be one or more interim awards, prior to a final award, which conclusively determine some of the issues between the parties, culminating in a final arbitral award which ultimately decides all remaining issues between the parties.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though it was held that any point of dispute between the parties which has to be answered by the arbitral tribunal can be the subject matter of an interim arbitral award, the Court, however, added a note of caution and said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn an appropriate case, the issue of more than one award may be necessitated on the facts of that case. However, by dealing with the matter in a piecemeal fashion, what must be borne in mind is that the resolution of the dispute as a whole will be delayed and parties will be put to additional expense. The arbitral tribunal should, therefore, consider whether there is any real advantage in delivering interim awards or in proceeding with the matter as a whole and delivering one final award, bearing in mind the avoidance of delay and additional expense. Ultimately, a fair means for resolution of all disputes should be uppermost in the mind of the arbitral tribunal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court, hence, held that such an award, which does not relate to the arbitral tribunal\u2019s own jurisdiction under Section 16, does not have to follow the drill of Section 16(5) and (6) of the Act but the Parliament may consider amending the relevant provision to consolidate all interim awards together with the final arbitral award.
