The High Court of Himachal Pradesh recently substituted a non-performing arbitrator because of his inability to arbitrate on the matter.

In Devki Nandan Steel Works and others v HP State Electricity Board Ltd and others, the high court appointed a retired chief engineer as arbitrator in 2016 with respect to disputes between the parties. However, the appointed arbitrator did not act on his appointment after disclosing that he had already expressed his inability to the to department arbitrate on the matter. However, this fact was never disclosed to the applicant. The department was repeatedly requested by the applicant to take appropriate steps but did not do so, and the applicant was thus compelled to approach the high court to seek the appointment of a substitute arbitrator.
