out to or relating to the contract, designs, drawings,
specifications, estimates, instructions, orders or these
conditions or otherwise concerning the works, or the
execution or failure to execute the same whether arising
during the progress of the work or after the completion or
abandonment thereof shall be referred to the sole
arbitrator as may be appointed by the authority mentioned
at Serial No. 32(ii) in Schedule “E”. There will be no
objection if the arbitrator so appointed is an employee of
AAI and that he had to deal with the matters to which the
contract relates and that in the course of his duties as such
he had expressed views on all or any of the matters in
dispute or difference. The arbitrator to whom the matter
is originally referred being transferred or vacating his
office or being unable to act for any reason, the appointing
authority for arbitrator, as aforesaid at the time of such
transfer, vacation of office or inability to act, shall appoint
another person to act as arbitrator in accordance with the
terms of the contract. Such person shall be entitled to
proceed with the reference from the stage at which it was
left by his predecessor. It is also a term of this contract
that no person other than a person appointed by the
authority mentioned in Schedule “E”, should act as
arbitration and if for any reason, that is not possible, the
matter is not to be referred to arbitration at all.
