💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has ruled against unilateral arbitrator appointments by public sector undertakings in contractual disputes, stating such practices violate principles of fairness, impartiality, and equality guaranteed under the Constitution. The top court held that unilateral appointment clauses in public-private contracts for arbitrator appointments are unconstitutional under Article 14 (right to equality).
