INDER SAIN MITTAL vs HOUSING BOARD HARYANA .

The Supreme Court held that under Section 30 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, an arbitrator's authority is not automatically terminated upon transfer, and the arbitrator can continue with the proceedings unless explicitly stated otherwise. The Court found that the objections raised by the Housing Board regarding the arbitrator's jurisdiction were without merit, thus upholding the trial court's decision to reject the objections and enforce the awards. The judgment clarified the scope of authority of an arbitrator in relation to their transfer, reinforcing the validity of the arbitration process.
