Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the High Court's orders under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, which appointed a Sole Arbitrator for disputes arising from a construction contract. The Court held that the High Court correctly exercised its jurisdiction under Section 11(6) to appoint an arbitrator when the appellant failed to respond to the notice invoking arbitration. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, confirming the appointment of the Sole Arbitrator, thereby allowing the arbitration proceedings to continue.
