Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a change in the location of arbitration proceedings, due to the appointment of a new arbitrator, alters the jurisdictional seat of arbitration. The court held that the jurisdictional seat remains fixed at Panchkula, as determined by the first arbitrator, despite the new proceedings being conducted in Delhi. This ruling clarifies the implications of arbitrator appointments on the seat of arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.
