Further, Article 136, while intended for exceptional cases, often serves as a judicial "backdoor," enabling further challenges to arbitral proceedings/awards even after exhaustion of statutory remedies. A recent highlight in this concern was the Supreme Court's curative intervention in Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) Ltd v. Delhi Airport Metro Express Pvt Ltd. Invoking its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 142, the Supreme Court set aside an arbitral award of nearly ₹8,000 crore against DMRC, overturning its earlier decision that had upheld the award. The ruling further unsettles the finality of arbitral awards.
