M/S HINDUSTAN DORR-OLIVER LTD. vs M/S. URANIUM CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD. Advocate - SUDARSHAN SHRIVASTAVA — A.APPL/3/2026

Court Decision Summary The Jharkhand High Court granted Hindustan Dorr-Oliver Limited's application and appointed Justice C. Praveen Kumar as sole arbitrator to resolve disputes with Uranium Corporation of India Limited arising from their 2009 contract. The court held that under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, it need only examine the prima facie existence of an arbitration agreement—which was clearly established—and deferred all substantive objections (including claims of staleness, applicant's corporate insolvency status, and party capacity issues) to the arbitral tribunal for full adjudication.
