Delhi High Court: Parties should be supplied with all materials submitted to the AT, opportunity should be given to respond to such materials. Arbitrator's act of not supplying materials and denying opportunity to respond violates Section 18 of the A&C Act. Arbitral Award set aside.

Delhi High Court in this judgement held that Section 24(3) of the Act reflects a facet of natural justice, a party must be given the materials supplied by the other party to the arbitral tribunal, and have an opportunity to respond. Act of the Arbitrator restricting supply of documents violates Section 18 of the Act, which requires parties to be given a full opportunity to present their case.
