Appointment of a receiver under arbitration law requires prior notice; subsequent settlement of disputes negates the need for such measures.
A settlement reached between parties renders an arbitral award satisfied, making any appeals regarding the matter infructuous.
The court emphasizes the enforcement of arbitration awards under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, allowing the appointment of a receiver to aid recovery.
The court recognized and gave effect to the full and final settlement between the parties, leading to the satisfaction of the arbitral award and disposal of the appeal.
The court has the authority to appoint a receiver under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, when an award remains unpaid.
A court can appoint a receiver under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act to safeguard an awardee's interests when there is a risk of asset concealment.
