The Delhi High Court in the case Mercator Ltd.

The bench headed by Justice Prateek Jalan in the case held that all violations of statute or supporting legislation do not satisfy this ground, and violations must be of fundamental policies considered shocking to the conscience of the Court.

FACTS OF THE CASE:

The present matter pertains to arbitral awards stemmed concerning three charter party agreements with regards to dredgers Triloki Prem, Banwari (Darshani) Prem, and Bhagwati Prem, respectively, owned by Mercator Ltd.
