    Summary: The Bombay High Court dismissed all applications and set aside arbitral awards across 248 matters, finding that the sole arbitrators were appointed unilaterally in violation of the Supreme Court's ruling in *Bhadra International* that such appointments are void ab initio. The court permitted parties to initiate fresh arbitration proceedings with the prior arbitration period excluded from limitation calculations, except where express written agreements under Section 12(5) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 waive the right to object to the arbitrator's ineligibility.
