As per case facts, R. K. Associates was awarded a catering license by IRCTC, which was later terminated due to persistent passenger complaints and unsatisfactory services. After an initial Section
...9 petition for interim relief was dismissed, the appellant approached the Sole Arbitrator under Section 17, seeking restoration of the contract, which was also dismissed. This dismissal led to the current appeal before the High Court under Section 37(2)(b) of the Arbitration Act. The question arose whether the Arbitral Tribunal's decision to deny interim protection was perverse, patently illegal, or jurisdictionally infirm, particularly concerning contractual termination clauses and notice requirements. Finally, the High Court, acknowledging its limited scope of interference, found that the Arbitrator's view, considering the numerous complaints and public interest, was plausible and not perverse, thus dismissing the appeal.
