Indian Oil Corp.Ltd.& Ors vs M/S Raja Transport(P) Ltd on 24 August, 2009
9. On 11th August 2014, the Petitioner addressed a letter to Mr.
Samanta referring to the latter‟s letter dated 6th June 2014 in which he
had stated that he was not interested in the subject matter of the
dispute. However, the Petitioner pointed out in the said letter dated
11th August 2014 that since the Arbitrator was the Project Incharge of
the work he, therefore, would not be able to act independently and
impartially. The Petitioner stated that in view of the nature of disputes,
the Petitioner would always have a reasonable apprehension that Mr.
Samanta would be biased against them. The Petitioner also referred to
the decision of the Supreme Court in Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. v.
Raja Transport Private Ltd. (2009) 8 SCC 520 and urged that Mr.
Samanta would be unable to function as an Arbitrator. A separate
letter was also addressed by the Petitioner to the CMD on 26 th
September 2014 requesting him to appoint another independent and
impartial person as an Arbitrator.
