The appointment of an arbitrator under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 ensures impartiality in arbitration when parties cannot agree on a selection. The Chief Justice plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely, fair, and unbiased tribunal formation.

The jurisdiction of an arbitral tribunal is rooted in the arbitration agreement, scope of disputes, and legal framework. Governed by principles like competence-competence, tribunals can decide their jurisdiction, issue interim measures, and ensure effective arbitration.
