In India, the doctrine of "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree" is applied flexibly. While the law laid down by Supreme Court indicates that genuine and relevant evidence is admissible, even if illegally obtained, there are key exceptions.

The Supreme Court's recent judgment in SBI General Insurance Co Ltd v. Krish Spinning [2024 INSC 532] marks a shift in judicial scrutiny during arbitration appointments. Emphasizing minimal court intervention, the Court reaffirmed that issues like 'accord and satisfaction' are to be resolved by the arbitral tribunal, not the courts.
