Case analysis of Alka Chandewar v.
Shamshul Ishrar Khan
Sec 27(5) of Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 contemplates the position for non-
compliance of the orders of the tribunal which read as follows;-
Persons failing to attend in accordance with such process, or making any other
default, or refusing to give their evidence, or guilty of any contempt to the arbitral
tribunal during the conduct of arbitral proceedings, shall be subject to the like
disadvantages, penalties and punishments by order of the Court on the
representation of the arbitral tribunal as they would incur for the like offences in
suits tried before the Court.
