Inside the Kennel Club of India Case: Madras HC on Section 21 Notice, Limitation and Appointment of Sole Arbitrator
The Court held that the application filed for appointment of sole arbitrator under Section 11(6), Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, is maintainable as the requirement of notice under Section 21 becomes unnecessary where the petitioner had already disclosed all details in a prior civil suit and the respondent had responded by filing a Section 8 application acknowledging that the dispute must be resolved via arbitration.
