https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=373022 Section 15(2) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 requires a substitute arbitrator to be appointed under the same rules that governed the original appointment, so a party-agreed nomination procedure continues to apply on replacement. A former employee is not automatically disqualified from acting as an arbitrator; disqualification depends on whether the past relationship gives rise to justifiable doubts about independence or impartiality. A remote employment history, without concrete material showing bias, is insufficient to invalidate the appointment. en-us Thu, 03 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 05 Jan 2019 07:52:08 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=373022 Section 15(2) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 requires a substitute arbitrator to be appointed under the same rules that governed the original appointment, so a party-agreed nomination procedure continues to apply on replacement.
