Trf Ltd vs Energo Engineering Projects Ltd on 3 July, 2017
26. The judgment delivered by the Apex Court in the matter of
Bharat Broadband (supra) has relied by the Apex Court in the
matter of TRF Ltd. (supra), Aravali Power (supra), Perkins
Eastman (supra), Jaipur Zila (supra) and by the coordinate
Bench in the matter of Om Sai (Supra) and in none of the
29
judgments it is held that if the arbitrator has not withdrawn
himself from the office of the arbitrator and there is a dispute in
respect to the eligibility of the arbitrator, the same can be decided
in a petition filed under Section 11 of the Act. In all the cases, the
Apex Court has considered the fact that the arbitrator was
appointed by the ineligible authority and, therefore, such arbitrator
would render himself ineligible to conduct the arbitration. In none
of the case relied by the applicants, the mandate of the named sole
arbitrator was terminated in the proceedings arising out of
application filed under Section 11 of the Act of 1996.

Antrix Corp.Ltd vs Devas Multimedia P.Ltd on 10 May, 2013
6.9. Shri Lahoti, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the
appellant heavily relied upon the decision of this Court
in Antrix Corpn. Ltd. v. Devas Multimedia (P) Ltd. [Antrix
Corpn. Ltd. v. Devas Multimedia (P) Ltd., (2014) 11 SCC 560 :
The Arbitration Act, 1940

Bharat Broadband Network Limited vs United Telecoms Limited on 16 April, 2019
'9.Promises, express and implied.--Insofar as a
proposal or acceptance of any promise is made in words,
14
the promise is said to be express. Insofar as such proposal
or acceptance is made otherwise than in words, the promise
is said to be implied.'
It is thus necessary that there be an "express" agreement in
writing. This agreement must be an agreement by which
both parties, with full knowledge of the fact that Shri Khan
is ineligible to be appointed as an arbitrator, still go ahead
and say that they have full faith and confidence in him to
continue as such. The facts of the present case disclose no
such express agreement. The appointment letter which is
relied upon by the High Court [Bharat Broadband Network
Ltd. v. United Telecoms Ltd., 2017 SCC OnLine Del 11905]
as indicating an express agreement on the facts of the case
is dated 17-1-2017. On this date, the Managing Director of
the appellant was certainly not aware that Shri Khan could
not be appointed by him as Section 12(5) read with the
Seventh Schedule only went to the invalidity of the
appointment of the Managing Director himself as an
arbitrator.
