Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the termination of a sole Arbitrator's mandate under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, due to undue delay in proceedings. The High Court had substituted the Arbitrator and appointed a new one, which was upheld by the Supreme Court. The court confirmed the dismissal of an application under Order VII Rule 11 of the CPC, affirming the High Court's decision on the grounds of procedural delays in arbitration.
