As per case facts, the Respondent-Claimant asserted ownership of land leased to the Appellant-Society for educational purposes. Disputes arose regarding the validity of the lease termination and the Appellant's continued
...possession, leading to arbitration. In arbitration, the Respondent sought interim usage charges, inspection, and a restraint on third-party rights. The Appellant contested, citing family arrangements and invalid termination. The Arbitrator directed the Appellant to deposit substantial monthly usage charges retrospectively, permitted inspection, and restrained third-party interests. The Appellant appealed, arguing the order granted final relief prematurely and fixed arbitrary charges. The question arose whether the Arbitrator, under Section 17 of the A&C Act, could direct substantial interim monetary payments when foundational issues of title and lease termination were disputed, without satisfying the triple test. Finally, the Court ruled that the Arbitrator's monetary directions exceeded interim powers, as they constituted a partial final adjudication without resolving core disputes or adequately applying the triple test. The monetary orders were set aside, while protective measures were upheld.
