The power of appointment of arbitrator in exercise of power under section 11(6) of 1996 act by C.J. or his designate
Verified Answer
A. An administrative order
B. An interim order
C. A judicial order
D. None of the above
Explanation:
In the landmark judgment of *SBP & Co. v. Patel Engineering Ltd.* (2005), a seven-judge bench of the Supreme Court held that an order passed by the Chief Justice or his designate under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, for the appointment of an arbitrator, is a judicial order and not merely an administrative order. This means such an order is subject to judicial review.
