Anj Turnkey Projects Private Limited v. Rupurt (Rupert)

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION APPLICATION (L.) NO. 117 OF 2026 Anj Turnkey Projects Private Limited ....Applicant : Versus :

Rupurt (rupert) ....Respondent Mr. Bhavya Shah, for the Applicant.

CORAM :

SANDEEP V. MARNE, J.

DATED :

6 MARCH 2026.

P.C :

1) This is an application filed under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (Arbitration Act) for adjudication of disputes and differences arising between the parties out of work order dated 30 January 2024.

2) I have heard Mr. Shah, the learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner who tenders affidavit of private service. It appears that the Respondents have received notice of the present application. Response dated 13 October 2025 is sent on behalf of the Respondents denying the liability to pay any amount to the Applicant. Respondents have however failed to appear before the Court despite being served. Perusal of the work order would indicate presence of arbitration clause-45. The seat of the arbitration is agreed at Mumbai. I am therefore convinced that there exists arbitration agreement between the parties. It would therefore be just and 1 of

appropriate to constitute Arbitral Tribunal comprising of a sole arbitrator for adjudication of disputes and differences between the parties. Accordingly, I proceed to pass the following order : (A) Ms. Shubra Swami, an Advocate of this Court is appointed as sole Arbitrator to adjudicate upon the disputes and differences between the parties arising out of an work order dated 30 January 2024 referred to above. The contact details of the Arbitrator are as under :

(C) The learned sole Arbitrator is requested to forward the statutory Statement of Disclosure under Section 11(8) read with Section 12(1) of the Act to the parties within a period of 2 weeks from receipt of a copy of this order.
