HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIPIN SANGHI
ORDER r.7.08.2011 During the course of hearing it is pointed out that the petitioner being a body incorporated outside India, the arbitration in this case would be an international commercial arbitration in terms of Section
2(f) of the Act. Consequently, the power to appoint the arbitrator lies with the Chief Justice of India or his designate, and not with the Chief
Justice of this Court or his designate. ln view of this position, counsel for the petitioner wishes to withdraw this petition with liberty to take appropriate steps.
Dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as prayed for.
