In Brief
Quippo Construction Equipment Limited challenged the High Court's decision to set aside an arbitral award, citing discrepancies in the place of arbitration specified in two related agreements. The Supreme Court held that in domestic institutional arbitration under CIAA, where the substantive and curial law are identical, different venue specifications do not invalidate the arbitration. The Court found that the respondent's failure to participate in proceedings and raise jurisdictional objections constituted a waiver of all such objections. The Court allowed the appeal, upholding the arbitrator's authority and the validity of the award.
