    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 unilaterally appointed in violation of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Following the Supreme Court's decision in *Bhadra International v. Airports Authority of India*, the court held that unilateral arbitrator appointments are void ab initio and set aside all corresponding arbitral awards and execution applications. The court permitted parties to initiate fresh arbitration proceedings while excluding the limitation period from the original arbitration invocation, with liberty to apply if a written agreement exists waiving the ineligibility objection under Section 12(5) of the Act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
