Section 11(6) Arbitration Act | High Court Lacks Jurisdiction to Appoint Arbitrator in International Commercial Arbitration : MP HC

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that a High Court lacks inherent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitrator in international commercial arbitration under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. The court set aside the arbitral award, emphasizing that such appointments are a nullity, impacting parties involved in cross-border disputes governed by the Act.
