High Court, Sher Shah Road, New Delhi (“DIAC”) . However, the first referral concerning the Employment Agreement dated 19.10.2023 is an ad-hoc proceeding being conducted in accordance with Order dated 17.09.2025 passed in Arb. P. No. 1045 of 2025. This Hon’ble Court keeping into consideration the Order dated 17.09.2025 has appointed the same arbitrator in both the arbitral proceedings but in view of the aforesaid Orders one arbitral proceeding needs to be held ad hoc and other one under the aegis of DIAC. The same is causing grave prejudice to the applicants.
