While party autonomy is generally upheld in India, there are certain statutory provisions under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (" the Act ") that parties may choose to exclude. For instance, Part I of the Act, which deals with domestic arbitrations, includes provisions for interim relief and judicial intervention. In international arbitrations seated outside India, the law allows parties to explicitly waive the applicability of Part I to limit the scope of Indian judicial interference. The Delhi High Court's decision in Ashwani Minda & Anr. vs. U-Shin Ltd., AIR 2020 (NOC) 953 (DEL.), has confirmed this dictum.
