The High Court of Karnataka has held that a subsequent Section 8 application would

be non-maintainable when the order of the arbitrator accepting objection to its

jurisdiction was not challenged.

The Division Bench of Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J.M. Khazi held that once the

order of the arbitrator terminating the arbitral proceedings has attained finality, it

would not be open for a party who did not lay any challenge to the order to contend

that the dispute once again be referred to arbitration.

The Grounds For Appeal

arbitration when there exists an arbitration agreement between them.

make it obligatory for the Court to refer the parties to arbitration in terms of the

However, the appellant not having challenged the order of the arbitrator by which it has

held that it has no jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute has waived its right to contend

that the dispute should be referred to arbitration.

proceedings has attained finality, it would not be open for a party who did not lay any

challenge to the order to contend that the dispute once again be referred to arbitration.

Accordingly, the Court dismissed the appeal.
