Procedural Posture

This document is a procedural order issued by the High Court of Delhi in an appeal filed by the Union of India under Section 37(2) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The appeal challenges an interim order dated December 23, 2020, rendered by an arbitral tribunal in the underlying dispute between the Union of India and Vedanta Ltd.

Court's Directions and Rulings

The Court addressed multiple interlocutory applications during a hearing conducted via video conferencing. An application for exemption (I.A. No. 417/2021) was allowed subject to all just exceptions. The Court also disposed of an application seeking permission to file a lengthy list of dates (I.A. No. 418/2021), deeming it infructuous, and instead directed both parties to submit brief synopses along with relevant citations and documentary extracts by January 12, 2021.

Regarding the primary appeal and the accompanying application for an interim injunction (I.A. No. 416/2021), the Court formally issued notice, which was accepted by counsel for the respondent. The matter was subsequently listed for further hearing on January 13, 2021.
