The petitioner filed the present application seeking an unconditional stay of the impugned award under the second proviso to Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001544941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">36(3)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996<\/a> (1996 Act). The petitioner argued that the Council became de jure unable to perform its functions, rendering the award without jurisdiction and void, as the reference was made on 04-12-2017, and the award was passed on 28-04-2022, beyond the prescribed time limits under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1996 Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moot Point<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Whether compliance with Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act<\/a> is mandatory for seeking a stay of an award?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Whether filing an application under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001544939\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">34<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1996 Act<\/a> without the pre-deposit under Section 19 of the MSMED Act makes the application for seeking a stay of the award under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001544941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">36(2)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1996 Act<\/a> imperfect in the eye of the law?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Parties&#8217; Contentions<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The respondent takes a preliminary objection to the maintainability of the application and contended that the petitioner must first comply with the requirement of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act<\/a>, which mandates depositing 75% of the awarded amount before applying to set aside the award. The respondent further asserts that failure to make the pre-deposit renders the application for stay &#8220;stillborn&#8221; under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On the other hand, the petitioner contended that the Court can consider the application for stay of the award based on the mere &#8220;filing&#8221; of an application under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001544939\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">34<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1996 Act<\/a>, as the words &#8220;file&#8221; and &#8220;entertain&#8221; in Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">36(2)<\/a> and Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act<\/a> respectively create a distinction between the two proceedings.<\/p>\n<p><b>Court&#8217;s Findings<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that Section 19 requires the buyer to deposit 75% of the awarded amount an such a pre-deposit is a condition precedent for a buyer to seek setting aside of an award under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act<\/a>, and without it, the application for stay would be stillborn. The Court held that compliance with section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act<\/a> is indeed mandatory for seeking a stay of an award.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\">The Court also clarifies that the filing of a Section 34 application for setting aside the award under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001544941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">36(2)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1996 Act<\/a> must be a valid application, complying with the limitation period prescribed under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001544939\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">34(3)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1996 Act<\/a>. The Court further stated that without the pre-deposit under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act<\/a>, Section 34 application remains invalid and cannot serve as the basis for an application for stay of the award under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001544941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">36(2)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1996 Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; margin-left: 36pt;\"><b>&#8220;Since the petitioner has admittedly not made the pre-deposit under section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002942157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSMED Act<\/a>, the Section 34 application filed by the petitioner remains eclipsed in the eye of law as the foundation for a prayer for stay of the arbitral award under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001544941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">36(2)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1996 Act<\/a>.
