https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=437619 The Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015, including the restricted scope of Section 11(6A), did not apply to a Section 11 petition where the request invoking arbitration had been issued before the amendment came into force. The operative distinction was between commencement of arbitral proceedings under Section 21 and the later court proceeding for appointment of an arbitrator. Because the pre-amendment notice invoking arbitration marked the start of the arbitral process, the subsequent filing of the Section 11 application did not change the applicable law. The unamended regime therefore continued to govern the appointment request in the facts considered. en-us Tue, 09 May 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 10 May 2023 15:34:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=437619 The Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015, including the restricted scope of Section 11(6A), did not apply to a Section 11 petition where the request invoking arbitration had been issued before the amendment came into force.
