M/S Konkan Railway Corpn. Ltd. & Anr vs M/S Rani Construction Pvt. Ltd

The Supreme Court addressed the nature of orders passed under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, holding that such orders are administrative in nature and not amenable to Article 136 of the Constitution of India. The Court noted that the Chief Justice's order compelling the appellant to furnish a panel of arbitrators was consistent with the precedent set in Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. vs. M/s Mehul Construction Co., which requires reconsideration. The Court ultimately upheld the administrative nature of the order, affirming that appeals under Article 136 are not maintainable in such cases.
