Sp Singla Constructions Pvt. Ltd. vs State Of Himachal Pradesh

The Supreme Court held that the appointment of an arbitrator under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 cannot be challenged if it is made in accordance with the terms of the agreement, as established in Antrix Corporation Limited v. Devas Multimedia Private Limited (2014) 11 SCC 560. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to dismiss the arbitration petition, ruling that the appellant's remedy lies under Section 13 and Section 34 of the Act, not Section 11(6). Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the validity of the arbitrator's appointment.
