    The Bombay High Court set aside multiple arbitral awards (including AU Small Finance Bank's case) because the sole arbitrators were unilaterally appointed, following Supreme Court precedent that such appointments are void ab initio. The Court dismissed all related execution applications and interim applications, but permitted parties to initiate fresh arbitration proceedings with time already spent excluded from limitation periods. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
