Once a Section 11(6) application is filed without a prior valid appointment, the opposite party's contractual right to appoint ceases. The Court held that the lower courts erred in treating the contractual clause as the exclusive remedy and in refusing to proceed under Section 11(6), and the matter had to be considered afresh for appointment of an arbitrator. en-us Fri, 29 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 16:36:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198085 Under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, a contractual power to appoint a sole arbitrator does not automatically lapse on expiry of the 30-day demand period; it continues only until the applicant moves the court for appointment.
