M/S Shin Satellite Public Company ... vs M/S Jain Studios Limited on 3 October, 2008
(ix) The power under Section 9 to grant interim relief is
available to the Court while under Section 17, such
powers to make interim measures are made available to
the Arbitral Tribunal. Even though there may be some
degree of overlap between the two provisions, however, the
powers under Section 9 are much wider inasmuch as they
extend to the pre and post award period as well as with
regard to the subject matter and the nature of the orders
which the Court is empowered to pass. Therefore,
pendency of an application under Section 17 before the
Arbitral Tribunal does not denude the Court of its power
to make an order for interim measures under Section 9 of
the statute [Ref. 2006 (3) AD (Delhi) 168 : 2006 (87) DRJ
