    Devas argued that authoritative public sources show that the Indian judiciary is not sufficiently independent and impartial when state interests are at stake, as was the case in the liquidation proceedings. The Court of Appeal finds that from the data presented by DMAI in this regard the correctness of such a general statement cannot be inferred. The Court of Appeal held that it would assess whether the judges in this particular case complied with the requirement of due process (see [6.26] – [6.27], Court of Appeal Judgment).
