M/S Larsen & Toubro Ltd vs M/S Mohan Lal Harbans Lal Bhayana

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against a High Court order appointing an Arbitrator under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, due to the appellant's failure to nominate its Arbitrator as per Clause 25 of the Agreement. The appellant contended that the arbitration clause was modified by supplementary agreements, thus negating the need for arbitration. The Court held that the High Court's appointment was valid as the arbitration clause remained operative, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to the original agreement terms despite subsequent modifications.
