https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=108713 Section 15 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 governs termination of an arbitrator's mandate and substitution in accordance with the rules applicable to the original appointment. Where the arbitration clause required the arbitrator to be a Fellow of the Indian Institute of Architects, the substitute appointed after resignation satisfied that qualification. Because neither the contract nor section 15 fixed a substitution period, the replacement had to be made within a reasonable time; on the stated facts, the substitute was appointed before service of notice of the petition. The provisions on initial appointment under section 11(5) and section 11(6) were treated as inapplicable to substitution of an already appointed arbitrator. en-us Fri, 31 May 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:12:43 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=108713 Section 15 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 governs termination of an arbitrator's mandate and substitution in accordance with the rules applicable to the original appointment.
