Section 11(6) Arbitration Act | Limitation & Contractual Bar Under Clause 65 Must Be Decided by Arbitrator, Not Court : MP HC
MP High Court rules that objections regarding limitation and contractual bars (e.g., Clause 65 of GCC) must be adjudicated by the arbitrator, not dismissed at the appointment stage. The ruling reinforces that courts under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration Act cannot preemptively decide merits like limitation or extinguishment of claims, preserving the arbitrator’s jurisdiction over disputes.
