Shriram Transport Finance Ltd Represented By P Senthil Kumar vs Peer Mohammed Advocate - Rajendran.L — 204/2025

Summary The Coimbatore Commercial Court dismissed 31 execution petitions filed by NBFCs (including Shriram Finance entities, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and others) seeking to enforce arbitral awards against judgment debtors. The court held that arbitrators were unilaterally appointed by the creditors/petitioners without written waiver from respondents post-dispute, making such appointments void ab initio under Section 12(5) of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996. Consequently, the awards passed by these ineligible arbitrators are nullity and non-executable, violating principles of party equality and arbitrator impartiality mandated by Indian law.
