casestatus.in Summary
An arbitrator acting under terms of reference is bound strictly by the scope of that reference and commits a jurisdictional error by travelling beyond it; where the terms of reference mandate a finding only on whether property constitutes *stridhana*, and the arbitrator concludes it does, no further inquiry into its subsequent disposition is permissible. As analysed on casestatus.in, mere physical transfer of *stridhana* property pursuant to a prior award does not amount to valid relinquishment of proprietary rights absent express consent established within the agreed arbitral mandate.
