Issues: Whether a valid arbitration agreement existed between the parties and whether the disputes were arbitrable so as to justify appointment of a sole arbitrator under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
Analysis: The dispute arose out of a shareholder agreement containing an arbitration clause. The transferee company, as successor-in-interest after amalgamation, was bound by the obligations and liabilities of the transferor company, and the arbitration clause continued to apply to the surviving dispute. The objections that the agreement was only tentative, unstamped, or that the claims related to the scheme of amalgamation rather than the agreement itself, were rejected. The Court held that the disputes were live and surviving, that the agreed appointment procedure had not been followed despite notice, and that the conditions for exercise of power under Section 11(6) were satisfied.
Conclusion: A valid arbitration agreement existed, the disputes were arbitrable, and appointment of a sole arbitrator was warranted.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a dispute survives under an agreement containing an arbitration clause and the contractual obligation stands transferred to a successor by amalgamation, the Court may appoint an arbitrator under Section 11(6) if the agreed appointment procedure fails and a live arbitrable dispute exists.
