On 25-2-2013, the Kingdom of Bhutan enacted the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act, 2013 while on 28-7-2020, the respondent Contractor sent a notice of arbitration to the appellant Authority under Cl. 67(ii) of the Contract, and nominated its arbitrator. Since the appellant Authority had failed to appoint its arbitrator, High Court exercised its jurisdiction under S. 11 of the Indian A&C Act, 1996 and made the appointment and also directed that the two arbitrators would proceed to appoint the presiding arbitrator. Appellant Authority did not have an issue with respect to the panel of arbitrators appointed and their grievance was limited to the applicability of the Indian A&C Act, 1996 and the seat of arbitration at New Delhi. In view of the consensus arrived at between the parties, the order of High Court was modified to the extent that all disputes arising out of the agreement dt. 14-4-2009 shall be conducted in accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of Bhutan, 2013 with the seat of arbitration at Thimphu.

Constitution of India \u2014 Art. 226 \u2014 Exercise of power under \u2014 Reasoned and independent analysis \u2014 Necessity:<\/strong> Technology enables Judges to bring speed, efficiency and accuracy to judicial work but prolific use of \u201ccut-copy-paste\u201d function should not become substitute for substantive reasoning which, in ultimate analysis is defining feature of judicial process. The fact that Judges are indeed hard pressed for time, faced with burgeoning vacancies and large caseloads acknowledged and perhaps crisp reasoning could be answer to the issue. [UPSC v. Bibhu Prasad Sarangi, (2021) 4 SCC 516<\/a>]<\/p>\n

(2) Transfer of such pending admitted winding-up petition to NCLT for adjudication under IBC, further held, is not the only route to IBC in such case, as S. 7 or S. 9 IBC petition are independent proceedings and IBC has overriding effect over winding-up provisions of the Companies Act. (3) Fresh petition under S. 7 or S. 9 IBC, or, transfer of pending admitted winding-up petition to NCLT under IBC, are subject only to: (i) test of irreversible\/irretrievable act(s)\/stage having been done or reached in the winding-up proceedings as laid down in Action Ispat, (2021) 2 SCC 641, or, (ii) where a company in winding up is near corporate death. These have to be determined in the facts and circumstances of each case, and an irresistible conclusion reached in this regard. (4) Irreversible\/irretrievable act(s)\/stage in the winding-up proceedings, clarified, must be act(s) or stage in or of the winding-up proceedings themselves. Sale of property of corporate creditor\/company which is under winding-up proceedings by secured creditor who stood outside the winding-up proceedings, held, is not irreversible\/irretrievable act\/stage in the winding-up proceedings themselves, hence, not a bar to fresh petition under S. 7 or S. 9 IBC. (5) Fresh S. 7 or S. 9 IBC petition being an independent proceeding having overriding effect over winding-up provisions of the Companies Act, and which has to be determined on its own merits, held, it is irrelevant that pendency of winding-up proceedings was suppressed in S. 7 or S. 9 IBC application, nor would such act be a subterfuge.
