23 July 2021| Sri Liladitya Deb v. Tara Ranjan Pattanaik and another | WP (C) No. 19068 of 2019 | Biswanath Rath J | 2021 SCC OnLine Ori
The Orissa High Court rejected an argument that the District Judge, Bhubaneshwar, did not have the jurisdiction to extend the arbitrator's mandate because the High Court had appointed the arbitrator. It was argued that only the High Court had the power to extend his mandate.
The court ruled that Section 2 (1) (e) ACA contains an exhaustive definition of “Court”, and there can be no other “court” for Part I of the ACA.
