    Hon'ble Shri Justice Abhay AhujaView PDF

    Summary: The Bombay High Court dismissed 190 consolidated applications (Serial Nos. 32-221) after finding that the sole arbitrators were appointed unilaterally in all cases. Following the Supreme Court's landmark decision in *Bhadra International vs. Airports Authority of India*, the court held that unilateral arbitrator appointments are void ab initio and set aside all resulting arbitral awards and commercial execution applications. The court permitted parties to initiate fresh arbitration proceedings with the period from original invocation excluded from limitation calculations, unless parties had executed a written agreement waiving objections under Section 12(5) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
