Court : Delhi

..... accordingly, section 39 of the repealed arbitration act, 1940 which had provided for a limited scope of appeal before the appellate court, superseded the provisions of letters patent. ..... legislature being cognizant of this difference of opinion prior to the code of 1908 and the unanimity of opinion which resulted after the amendment, chose not to include the reservation clause in the provisions relating to appeals in the arbitration act of 1940, the conclusion is inevitable that it was so done with a view to restrict the right of appeal within the strict limits defined by section 39 and to take away the right conferred by other statutes. ..... under the code of 1908, the right to appeal under the letters patent was saved both by section 4 and the clause contained in section 104(1), but by the arbitration act of 1940, the jurisdiction of the court under any other law for the time being in force is not saved; the right of appeal can therefore be exercised against orders in arbitration proceedings only under section 39, and no appeal (except an appeal to this court) will lie from an appellate order. 18. ..... apart from the pronouncements of the supreme court on the arbitration act, 1940, it is obvious that several division benches of this court, as well as of the madras high court, have not entertained appeals at least pertaining to arbitration disputes under section 10 of the letters patent. 9. in p.s. .....
