Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the High Court's orders terminating the mandate of the arbitrator and appointing a new one under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by intervening in the arbitration process without sufficient grounds, emphasizing that the arbitration clause must be respected and the parties should be allowed to resolve their disputes through arbitration. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders and reinstated the original arbitrator to continue the proceedings.
