                              Mr. Sarang Pathak, for the Applicant.


                                                          CORAM       : AMIT BORKAR, J.

                                                          DATED       : SEPTEMBER 30, 2026
                              P.C.:
                              1.      The present Application has been filed under Section 11 of
                              the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (“the Act”), seeking the
                              appointment of an Arbitrator for adjudication of the disputes and
                              differences stated to have arisen between the parties under the
                              Agreements dated 3 October 2022. The arbitration agreements
                              between the parties are contained in Clauses 15, 15.1, 15.2, 15.3
                              of the said Agreements, a copy whereof is placed at page 57 of the
                              Application. In the interest of brevity, the said arbitration clause is
                              not reproduced herein. It would suffice to observe that the present
                              Application falls within the jurisdiction of this Court.

                              2.      The record indicates that the Applicant invoked the
                              arbitration agreement by issuing a notice dated 8 October 2025.

                              3.      Upon perusal of the material placed on record, it is evident
                              that the arbitration agreement has been duly invoked by the
                              Applicant.




                                                                 1

4.    This Court is satisfied that a valid and subsisting arbitration
agreement exists between the parties and that the said agreement
has been duly invoked. It would, therefore, be appropriate to refer
the disputes and differences arising out of or in connection with
the aforesaid Agreements dated 3 October 2022 to arbitration
before a Sole Arbitrator.

5.    In the aforesaid circumstances, the present Application under
Section 11 of the Act, is deserved to be disposed of in terms of the
following order:

      A)    Advocate Bharat Shantilal Mehta, is hereby appointed
      as the Sole Arbitrator to adjudicate upon the disputes and

this Court shall retain the said Statement on the file of

Arbitrator on such date and at such place as may be
indicated by the Learned Sole Arbitrator, for obtaining
appropriate directions with regard to the conduct of the
arbitral proceedings, including fixing the schedule for

dates of hearing. At such meeting, the parties shall
furnish to the Arbitral Tribunal valid and functional
email addresses, together with the mobile and landline
telephone numbers of their respective Advocates.
Communications sent to the said email addresses shall
constitute valid service of correspondence in connection
with the arbitral proceedings.

F)    All arbitral costs and fees of the arbitration and of
the Arbitral Tribunal shall be borne by the parties equally
in the first instance. The same shall, however, remain
subject to any final Award that may be passed by the
Arbitral Tribunal in relation to costs.



                             3

6.    The Learned Sole Arbitrator shall be at liberty to adjudicate
upon the claims and counterclaims, if any, and to determine all
questions relating to merits, in accordance with law.

7.    All actions required to be taken pursuant to this order shall
be taken upon receipt of a downloaded copy as available on this
Court’s website.
