VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE C.M. POONACHA ORAL ORDER (PER: HON'BLE MR. VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE) 1. The petitioner has filed the present petition impugning an order dated 16.04.2026, whereby the Commercial Court had rejected the application filed by the petitioner under Order XXI Rule 29 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 in Commercial Execution Petition No.51/2026. 2. The petitioner was the respondent in arbitral proceedings that has culminated in an arbitral award dated 31.08.2023. The said award is subject matter of an application to set aside the same under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 [A&C Act]. The said application (Com.A.P.No.194/2023) was rejected by an order dated 11.03.2025 by the learned Commercial Court. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:24444-DB WP No. 13954 of 2026 3. The petitioner has preferred an appeal (COMAP No.318/2025) against the order dated 11.03.2025 dismissing the petition to set aside the arbitral award. The said appeal, filed under Section 37(1)(c) of the A&C Act, is pending. 4. The order which is impugned in the present petition is not appealable under Section 13(1A) of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 [CC Act]. The remedy of an appeal under Section 13(1A) of the CC Act is restricted. The legislative intent is clearly to restrict interference with orders other than those stipulated, in matters involving commercial disputes. 5. We are also of the view that entertaining a writ petition on merits of the order, against which no appeal is provided under the CC Act, would run contrary to the legislative intent. It would frustrate the legislative intent, if the Court entertains petitions in exercise of its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 or 227 of the Constitution of India on merits of the orders only on the ground that no appeal is provided under the CC Act. 6. We find no ground to entertain the present petition. The same is dismissed. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:24444-DB WP No. 13954 of 2026 7. All pending applications are also disposed of.
