Fuerst Day Lawson Ltd vs Jindal Exports Ltd on 8 July, 2011
9.9 Likewise, the judgment rendered by the Supreme Court in Fuerst Day
Lawson Ltd. v. Jindal Exports Ltd. (2011) 8 SCC 333 will not carry the
argument advanced on behalf of PPL much further as it concerns the provisions
of the 1996 A&C Act. As submitted before, courts, which include the Supreme
Court, having regard to the provisions, object and preamble of the 1996 A&C
Act have concluded that the supervisory role of courts in the arbitration process
should be minimal. It is in this context that the Supreme Court had held in
Fuerst Day Lawson that no Letters Patent Appeal would lie, except as
provided in Section 50 of the 1996 A&C Act.
