https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=109385 Where an arbitration dispute has a territorial nexus with one High Court, that court may entertain a petition for appointment of an arbitrator even if another High Court also has a connection, because the appointing power under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act is linked to the court with jurisdiction over the subject matter. Once the claimant issues notice invoking the arbitration clause and the respondent does not appoint within the stipulated time, the statutory appointment mechanism operates and the court may appoint an arbitrator. Questions about withheld amounts or other merits of the dispute are for the arbitral tribunal, not for refusal at the appointment stage. en-us Fri, 27 Feb 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:55:07 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=109385 Where an arbitration dispute has a territorial nexus with one High Court, that court may entertain a petition for appointment of an arbitrator even if another High Court also has a connection, because the appointing power under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act is linked to the court with jurisdiction over the subject matter.
