Question and options
The parties reside in Lucknow and Kolkata and performed their contract at Varanasi. They expressly agree that New Delhi is the juridical seat of arbitration, and the proceedings are held there. In which place must a section 34 challenge be brought?
Delhi
Lucknow
Varanasi
Kolkata
Answer and explanation
The juridical seat determines the supervisory court for a section 34 challenge. When the parties choose Delhi as that seat, their residences and the place of contractual performance do not displace Delhi’s supervisory jurisdiction. A place used only for individual hearings is a different concept.
