2008 (7) TMI 943 - DELHI HIGH COURTArbitration and Conciliation - appointment of independent sole arbitrator dismissed - Held that:- The contention of the appellant that appointment of Presiding Co- Arbitrator is not in conformity with the terms of the arbitration agreement is belied by the letter of the appellant dated 14/20.12.2000 addressed to the respondent, wherein it is acknowledged that the Presiding Arbitrator was appointed by both the co-arbitrators. The learned Single Judge has rightly held that the appellants have themselves not filed any claim before the Arbitrators and the application is barred by delay. The appellant chose to keep silent for about nine years, i.e. arbitrator was appointed in 1997 and appellant approached learned Single Judge in 2006. No explanation has been offered for silence since the last letter dated 22.12.2000 till the date of filing of the petition. This is a clear case of laches on the part of the appellant.Appeal dismissed.
