Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 - Section 29A -When mandate of arbitrator has expired, his continuation is impermissible. Section 29A(6) empowers and obligates the Court to substitute the Arbitrator- The substitution of a sole arbitrator is warranted, when his mandate ceases to exist, to effectuate the object of the Act, which mandates expeditious resolution of the dispute. [Context: In this case, Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in granting an extension when the mandate of the sole arbitrator had ceased to exist. ]
