The Allahabad High Court has held that by virtue of Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, special appeal and letters patent appeal against orders passed under Section 11, and of the Act is not maintainable. Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 bars any appeal, including letters patent appeals against an order passed under Section 11, and of the Act by the Supreme Court or the High Court. 718 of 2008 15 years ago in an appeal filed by the appellant that some proceedings had already been initiated elsewhere and then to recuse himself from hearing of the Application under Section 11 of the Act 1996, 15 years thereafter, without being informed about the said fact.” Holding the aforesaid ground taken by the appellant as untenable, the Court examined the issue of maintainability of the appeal as raised by the counsel for respondent. The bench comprising of Justice Rajan Roy and Justice Om Prakash Shukla held that “Now, when we peruse the Amending Act 2019, we find that no date has been appointed for coming into force of Section 3 of the Amending Act 2019 by which Section 11 of the original Act 1996 is sought to be omitted, meaning thereby, sub-Section of Section 11 of the Act 1996 barring a Letters Patent Appeal/Special Appeal against an order passed under Section 11 of the Act 1996, still exists, therefore, the bar continues so long as Section 3 of the Amending Act 2019 is not notified.” The Court held that there being a specific bar on appeals against orders under Section 11, and in the Act of 1996, the Allahabad High Court Rules cannot be read contrary to it.
