Impugned in this appeal, filed in terms under Section 37(1)(b) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, [“the Act”] is an order dated 07.10.2025 passed by the Court of learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Srinagar[“Commercial Court”] in Arb. Case No. 33/2025 titled M/s Wani Infratech Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Union of India and another, whereby the application filed by the appellant under Section 9 of the Act for grant of interim relief has been rejected. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant, at the outset, submits that he would not be pressing any interim relief as was prayed by the appellant Sr. No. 02 CM No. 9055/2025 in Arb App No. 15/2025 before the Commercial Court but would challenge the impugned order only to the extent, that the Commercial Court has made certain observations which are likely to prejudice the appellant in the arbitration proceedings before the DRB/Arbitrator. 3. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material on record, I am of the considered opinion that the prayer of the learned counsel deserves to be allowed. It is clarified that the observations made by the Commercial Court in the impugned order shall be taken to have been made for the purpose of disposal of petition under Section 9 of the Act and shall not be taken as an expression of opinion of the Court on the merits of the controversy. 4.
