STATE OF ORISSA vs SUNANDA KUMAR MOHURY — C.A. No. 5849/2012

Summary: State of Orissa v. Sunanda Kumar Mohury (C.A. 5849/2012) The Supreme Court allowed the State of Orissa's appeal and set aside the High Court's February 18, 2011 order that had granted respondents' application under Section 11 of the 1996 Arbitration Act for fresh arbitration proceedings. The Court held that since the original arbitration proceedings commenced under the 1940 Act in 1975 had expired without extension and were dropped in 2006, no fresh arbitration could be initiated under the 1996 Act at such a distant time. The respondents' Section 11 application was rejected with no costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
