As a matter of principle, the use of curative petition under Article 142 of the Constitution has to be only in exceptional cases. The relief given by the Supreme Court in several cases related to arbitration may encourage the aggrieved parties, even after the decision of the Supreme Court in an appeal of taking a chance by filing a curative petition and giving rise to the tendency of not accepting anything less than a decision in a curative petition. The Supreme Court has to find the right balance between exercising its discretion to do complete justice and party autonomy in arbitration.
