Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, JJ. while agreeing with the reasoning which led the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court to remand the proceedings to the Single Judge, said that interference with an arbitral award under Section 34 must be confined to the grounds which are permissible under the statute. But equally, the Judge hearing an application under Section 34 must apply their mind to the grounds of challenge and then deduce as to whether a case for interference within the parameters of Section 34 has been made out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After perusing the Single Judge order, the Court remarked that &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">there is no discernible reason which has weighed with the Single Judge. There has been no consideration of the arguments which were urged before the Single Judge<\/span>&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After noting the impugned Judgment, the Court viewed that the Division Bench did not err in remitting the proceedings to the Single Judge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In the facts and circumstances, the Court requested the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court to assign the hearing of the petition under Section 34 to a Judge other than the Judge who heard and passed the impugned order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court clarified that since the Division Bench of the High Court has remanded the proceedings to the Single Judge for reconsidering the petition under Section 34 which order has been affirmed by this Court, all the rights and contentions of the parties are kept open.<\/p>\n<p><!--\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Kalanithi Maran v Ajay Singh, Petition(s) for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.14936\/2024, decided on 26-07-2024<\/span>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<hr\/>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case :<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">For Petitioner(s):<\/span> Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Sr. Adv.
