The Supreme Court recently held that a court, while deciding a section 34 petition under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, has no jurisdiction to remand the matter to an arbitrator for a fresh decision.

In Radha Chemicals v Union of India, an award was passed by a sole arbitrator against which an application under section 34 of the 1996 act was filed before Calcutta High Court to set aside the award. After examining the facts, the single judge of the high court held that the point of limitation had been decided incorrectly and therefore remanded the matter to the sole arbitrator to decide the point of limitation afresh. Because the whereabouts of the original arbitrator was unknown, the high court directed the appointment of a new arbitrator to decide the matter afresh. An appeal against the order was dismissed by the division bench of the high court.
