Calcutta HC Sets Aside Arbitration Order Due to Lack of Jurisdiction: Stresses Adherence to Commercial Court Roster

The Calcutta High Court has set aside an arbitration order due to a "lack of jurisdiction," stressing the need for "adherence to the commercial court roster." The court ruled that the arbitrator's appointment and subsequent award were invalid as the matter fell under the jurisdiction of a different commercial court. This decision highlights the critical importance of procedural correctness and the strict observance of jurisdictional rules, particularly in commercial disputes, ensuring that cases are heard by the designated authority.
