The Supreme Court reviewed its earlier order in Arbitration Petition No.1 of 2005, emphasizing that under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the appointment of arbitrators must adhere to the agreed terms of the arbitration agreement. The Court held that the applicant's request for the appointment of three arbitrators, as per UNCITRAL rules, was valid, and the previous appointment of a sole arbitrator was erroneous. Consequently, the Court allowed the review petition and directed the appointment of three arbitrators instead.
