Inder Sain Mittal vs Housing Board Haryana And Others

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of arbitration awards under Section 30 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, holding that an arbitrator who has been transferred lacks jurisdiction to continue the proceedings. The Court found that the original arbitrator's transfer invalidated his authority, thus the awards were set aside. The judgment reversed the High Court's decision that had allowed the objections and set aside the trial court's orders, reinstating the trial court's ruling to make the awards rule of the Court.
