    Honourable Mr. Justice Mridul Kumar KalitaView PDF

    The Gauhati High Court dismissed an appeal for lack of jurisdiction, holding that appeals from Section 9 orders of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 in commercial disputes must be filed before the Commercial Appellate Court (District Judge) under Section 13(1) of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015, not the High Court. The court reasoned that the later-enacted 2015 Act prevails over the 1996 Act, and all arbitration matters involving commercial disputes fall within the Commercial Court framework. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
