KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK LTD vs HINDUSTAN ENTERPRISES — IA/1526/2023

Summary The High Court of Bombay dismissed all applications (serial nos. 901-1148) and set aside the respective arbitral awards, finding that the sole arbitrator was unilaterally appointed in violation of the Supreme Court's decision in Bhadra International. The court allowed parties to initiate fresh arbitration proceedings with the previous limitation period excluded, subject to any express written agreement waiving the ineligibility objection.
