Obtaining Certified Copies from DAC

Certified copies of arbitration matters are provided only to the concerned parties, whether the case is pending or decided. As stipulated by Section 42A of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996, arbitration proceedings are confidential and pertain solely to the involved parties — third parties who are not part of the arbitration are not entitled to obtain certified copies of these matters.

The Procedure

To obtain a certified copy, the applicant must

Submit a specific application, clearly indicating the documents required and the purpose for obtaining them.
For pending arbitration proceedings, secure the approval of the concerned Arbitrator before depositing the necessary fee. Copies relating to ongoing matters must be obtained in person from the office of the Ld. Arbitrator, as per the Ld. Arbitrator's directive.
Vague requests — such as asking for the entire file or all orders — will be rejected outright.
For decided matters, direct all applications to the Registrar, DAC. Clearly state the case number, the parties' names and the purpose, and include a paid fee receipt for the certified copy.
All applications will be processed within 15 days from the date of receipt, provided the complete application and paid charges are furnished.
