Prior approval of the Adjudicating Authority under the proviso to section 33(5) is mandatory before a liquidator initiates arbitration for a corporate debtor in liquidation.

The discussion distinguishes a lack of prior approval from voidness: section 33(5) does not expressly nullify proceedings commenced without approval. On a purposive construction, post facto approval renders the invocation effective from the approval date, and subsequent arbitral steps must proceed afresh from that date.
