About this template

What is this template?

This is a formal court filing for use in Indian District Courts to obtain emergency relief related to arbitration. It is not an arbitration notice or a statement of claim, but specifically a petition for judicial intervention to protect the subject matter of a dispute.

When should you use it?

Use this when a counterparty is likely to dissipate assets or damage property before an arbitrator can rule, instead of waiting for a Section 17 application before the tribunal itself.

Who it's for

  • a party to a contract in India seeking to secure a claim amount during arbitration
  • an applicant requiring the preservation or interim custody of property disputed in arbitration
  • a claimant needing the court to direct a respondent to furnish security pending an award
