The AP High Court entertained a petition under Article 227 of the Constitution against a commercial court’s order by which an application to terminate the arbitrator’s mandate for de jure inability was rejected.

The application to terminate the mandate was made under Section 14 ACA, and the arbitrator’s de jure ineligibility was argued based on Section 12 (5) ACA read with the Seventh Schedule. The High Court quashed the appointment noting that such ineligibility goes to the root of the appointment.
