43. A perusal of the aforesaid declaration by Justice (Retd.) G.P. Mathur
makes it manifestly clear that all necessary disclosures under the relevant
provisions of the Act have been made. A conjoint reading of both the
declarations dated 21st May, 2021 and 5th August, 2021, clearly shows that
the learned Arbitrator or any of his family member had no relationship
with the respondent. The learned Arbitrator has in very clear words
declared that he has been appointed Arbitrator in three other matters on
behalf of respondent-NHAI and last was in the year 2018 and his fourth
appointment is by this Court by virtue of order dated 4th May, 2021 i.e. the
second arbitral tribunal for resolution of disputes between the parties.
Meaning thereby, if nomination of Justice (Retd.) G.P. Mathur by
respondent in response to petitioner's notice dated 4th June, 2021 is
accepted, this would be his fifth appointment on behalf of respondent-
NHAI. The afore-referred decisions in HRD Corpn. (Supra) and Sudesh
Prabhakar make it clear that there is no bar in appointment of an
Arbitrator in multiple cases, if so warranted.
