    Summary: The Bombay High Court dismissed multiple applications and set aside all arbitral awards because the sole arbitrator in each case was appointed unilaterally, following the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Bhadra International v. Airports Authority of India that such unilateral appointments are void ab initio. The court permitted parties to initiate fresh arbitration proceedings while excluding the prior arbitration period from the limitation clock and allowing relief only if parties had expressly waived their objection rights under Section 12(5) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
