MP High Court: Application Under Section 29A Of Arbitration Act Not Maintainable After Termination Of Proceedings Following Arbitrator’s Withdrawal

The Madhya Pradesh High Court held that an application under Section 29A of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act cannot be filed once arbitration proceedings have terminated following the withdrawal of arbitrators. The Court clarified that statutory remedies under the Act are linked to the continuance of proceedings and lose relevance post-termination. The judgment emphasizes procedural adherence in arbitration and avoids misuse of statutory provisions to reopen closed matters.
