Arbitration Proceedings Before Improperly Constituted Arbitral Tribunal Are Non-Est: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court ruled that arbitration proceedings initiated based on an invalid appointment process are void. The court emphasized that if the arbitrator's appointment doesn’t comply with the agreed procedure in the arbitration clause, the proceedings lack legal validity. This reinforces the importance of adhering strictly to arbitration agreements, ensuring the integrity of the process and protecting parties from biased or improper appointments.
