Yes, it is possible for a party to file applications simultaneously under section 9 (for interim measures by the Court) and section 17 (for interim measures by the Arbitral Tribunal) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Here’s how this works:
1. **Section 9 Application (Court)**:
- Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act allows a party to approach the court for interim measures before or during arbitral proceedings. These measures could include injunctions, appointment of receivers, preservation of property, etc.
- A party may file a section 9 application if it believes that urgent interim relief is necessary and the arbitral tribunal has not yet been constituted or is unable to act effectively.
2. **Section 17 Application (Arbitral Tribunal)**:
- Section 17 of the Act empowers the arbitral tribunal itself to grant interim measures during the arbitration proceedings. These measures can be similar to those available under section 9, such as injunctions, preservation of evidence, etc.
- If the arbitral tribunal has been constituted and is capable of acting promptly, a party may file a section 17 application directly before the tribunal for interim relief.
### Simultaneous Filing and Considerations:
- **Urgency and Effectiveness**: The decision to file applications under both section 9 and section 17 simultaneously often depends on the urgency of the relief sought and the ability of each forum (court vs. arbitral tribunal) to provide effective interim measures promptly.
- **Court’s Jurisdiction**: While section 9 allows the court to intervene before and during arbitration, the court may defer to the arbitral tribunal if the tribunal is constituted and capable of granting effective interim relief without delay.
- **Coordination and Consistency**: It’s important for the party and their legal counsel to ensure that the relief sought in both applications is consistent and does not create conflicting orders or confusion between the court and the arbitral tribunal.
In practice, parties may choose to file both applications simultaneously to maximize their chances of obtaining urgent relief. However, the decision on where to seek interim measures (court vs. arbitral tribunal) often depends on the specific circumstances of the case, including procedural rules, the stage of arbitration, and the nature of the relief sought.
