M/S.NATIONAL HEAVY ENG.CORPN.LTD. vs M/S.KING BUILDERS

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the appointment of an arbitrator under Section 39 of the Arbitration Act, 1940. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to appoint a retired P.W.D. engineer as arbitrator, rejecting the contractor's claim for a different arbitrator suggested by the Tilam Sangh. The ruling clarified that the appointment made by the lower court, in compliance with the High Court's order, was valid and should be followed, thereby affirming the High Court's judgment.
