https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198088 Under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the respondent's residual right to appoint an arbitrator continues after the initial demand period but ends once the applicant files a petition before the Court seeking appointment. An appointment made only after the Section 11(6) petition has been filed and court notice issued is too late, so the respondent forfeits that contractual right. Applying that principle, the Court accepted the request for judicial appointment and directed the parties' disputes to arbitration before a sole arbitrator appointed by the Court, with interim protection kept in force for a limited period to allow recourse to the arbitral tribunal. en-us Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 16:51:38 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198088 Under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the respondent's residual right to appoint an arbitrator continues after the initial demand period but ends once the applicant files a petition before the Court seeking appointment.
