Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. Section 37 Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 (as substituted by 2015 Amendment):
2. (1) APPEAL shall lie from the FOLLOWING orders to the COURT (which has jurisdiction to hear appeals from original decrees of the court passing the order):
3. (a) refusing to refer the parties to arbitration under section 8;
4. (b) granting or refusing to grant any measure under section 9;
5. (c) setting aside or refusing to set aside an arbitral award under section 34.
6. (2) Appeal shall also lie to the court from an order of the arbitral tribunal:
7. (a) accepting the plea referred to in sub-section (2) or sub-section (3) of section 16; or
8. (b) granting or refusing to grant an interim measure under section 17.
9. (3) NO SECOND APPEAL shall lie from an order passed in appeal under this section, but nothing in this section shall affect or take away any right to appeal to the SUPREME COURT.
10. 2019 AMENDMENT further added Section 37(1)(a) — appeal against order under Section 8 to refer to arbitration.
