About the Editorial Note
The NUJS Law Review is proud to present “The Curious Case of a Curative: A Contrarian Reflection on the Arbitral Award Set Aside in DMRC v. DAMEPL” by Ranak Banerji & Ria Kumar, current editors of the journal. This note critically examines the Supreme Court’s (‘SC’) curative powers through the lens of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) v. Delhi Airport Metro Express (DAMEPL) judgment. The case marks a milestone, being the first arbitral award set aside at the curative stage by the SC, raising essential questions regarding the scope and application of curative petitions.
In this editorial, the authors provide a detailed empirical analysis of past curative petitions entertained by the SC. They construct a broad evaluative framework to assess the DMRC judgment, offering a contrarian viewpoint that challenges prevailing interpretations and critiques surrounding the ruling.
The article sheds light on critical aspects of curative petitions, specifically addressing the extent to which they can be used to challenge arbitral awards. By juxtaposing accepted and rejected curative petitions, the authors aim to clarify the threshold that a petition must meet to be entertained at the curative stage.
