Orders
Summary The Jharkhand High Court appointed a fresh arbitrator (Justice Narendra Nath Tiwari) to resolve disputes over the Jharjharia Reservoir Project between Modi Projects Ltd. and the State of Jharkhand. The court rejected the State's objection that a second round of arbitration was impermissible after an earlier 2017 award was set aside, holding that under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration Act, it need only verify prima facie existence of the arbitration agreement—jurisdictional challenges like res judicata and limitation belong to the arbitrator's domain under the Kompetenz-Kompetenz principle. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
