Supreme Court<\/strong>: Deciding the question relating to the entertainability of an application by this Court for making an award passed by the arbitral tribunal, when it retains seisin over arbitral proceeding, as Rule of the Court, the 5-judge bench of Dipak Misra, CJ and Dr. AK Sikri, AM Khanwilkar, Dr. DY Chandrachud and Ashok Bhushan, JJ overruled the rulings in State of Madhya Pradesh v. Saith and Skelton (P) Ltd., (1972) 1 SCC 702<\/a> and Guru Nanak Foundation v. Rattan Singh and Sons, (1981) 4 SCC 634<\/a>, wherein it was held:<\/p>\n

\n

“when an arbitrator is appointed by this Court and further directions are issued, it retains seisin over the arbitration proceedings and in such circumstances, the Supreme Court is the only court for the purposes of Section 2(c) of the Arbitration Act, 1940.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Stating that the jurisdiction of a Court conferred under a statute cannot be allowed to shift or become flexible because of a superior court\u2019s interference in the matter in a different manner, the bench explained:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhen arbitrator is not appointed under the Act and the matter is challenged before the High Court or, for that matter, the Supreme Court and, eventually, an arbitrator is appointed and some directions are issued, it will be inappropriate and inapposite to say that the superior court has the jurisdiction to deal with the objections filed under Sections 30 and 33 of the Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Bench further explained that the Section 39 of the Act provides for an appeal and solely because a superior court appoints the arbitrator or issues directions or has retained some control over the arbitrator by requiring him to file the award in this Court, it cannot be regarded as a court of first instance as that would go contrary to the definition of the term \u2018court\u2019 as used in the dictionary clause as well as in Section 31(4) of the Act. The bench said that the Supreme Court:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cmay make a reference to an arbitrator on consent but to hold it as a legal principle that it can also entertain objections as the original court will invite a fundamental fallacy pertaining to jurisdiction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Court, hence, overruled the above-mentioned verdicts and all the other verdicts of this Court that state the law on the basis of the said verdicts. [State of Jharkhand v. Hindustan Construction Co. Ltd, 2017 SCC OnLine SC 1458<\/a>, decided on 14.12.2017]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
