https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=450340 Section 11(6) applications for appointment of an arbitrator are subject to the Limitation Act, with Article 137 applying where no specific period is prescribed; time runs from accrual of the right to apply after a valid notice invoking arbitration and failure to act under the appointment procedure. On the stated facts, the petition was filed within time and was not barred by limitation. At the referral stage, a court may decline reference only on a prima facie review where the underlying claim is manifestly dead, ex facie time-barred, or there is no subsisting dispute; because the claims were not hopelessly time-barred on commencement of arbitration, reference could not be refused and the dispute was referable to arbitration. en-us Fri, 01 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 08 Aug 2025 12:32:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=450340 Section 11(6) applications for appointment of an arbitrator are subject to the Limitation Act, with Article 137 applying where no specific period is prescribed; time runs from accrual of the right to apply after a valid notice invoking arbitration and failure to act under the appointment procedure.
