SC: No Review Or Appeal Lies Against Order Appointing Arbitrator

The Supreme Court held that once a court appoints an arbitrator under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, no review or appeal is maintainable unless explicitly permitted by statute. The judgment emphasizes the finality of judicial orders in the appointment process to protect the efficiency and integrity of arbitration. The Court noted that allowing repeated challenges would undermine the purpose of speedy dispute resolution and encourage dilatory tactics. This ruling reinforces judicial minimalism in arbitration proceedings and upholds the legislative intention to keep the appointment stage streamlined, non-protracted, and free from unnecessary appeals.
