K.K. CHIBBER CONSTRUCTION Vs. THE CHIEF MANAGING DIRECTOR, NATIONAL HYDROELECTRIC POWER CORPORATION LTD. AND ORS.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) LEARNED counsel appearing for the petitioner has contended that following was the Arbitration Clause 55.1 in the agreement:

(2.) I have perused the arbitration clause. There is no clause conferring sole jurisdiction to the courts situated in Jammu & Kashmir. Even otherwise, the registered office of the respondent company is situated at Faridabad, in the State of Haryana. However, as one of the parties is having its presence at Jammu & Kashmir, I appoint Justice B.A. Khan (Retired Chief Justice of Jammu & Kashmir) as sole arbitrator to adjudicate upon all the disputes between the parties.
