Quick Summary: On February 25, 2026, the Delhi High Court chose a new person to help settle the ongoing disagreement between Tata Capital Limited and Madhav Diesels & others. The previous person in charge stepped down due to health problems.
This case is between Tata Capital Limited and Madhav Diesels, along with Madhav Auto. Tata Capital asked for a new person to help settle their disagreement under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The disagreement is about a Loan-cum-Guarantee Agreement from February 10, 2020.
On August 16, 2022, Mr. Sanjivan Kumar Sarvaria, who used to be a judge in Delhi, was chosen to help settle the disagreement. This was because Tata Capital asked for it under a specific section of the Act.
On October 12, 2025, Mr. Sarvaria said he couldn't continue because of long-term heart treatment. Because of this, his role ended under another section of the Act.
"Due to health reasons, Mr. Sarvaria cannot continue as arbitrator," the court noted.
The court, led by Justice Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar, picked Mr. Kanwal Jeet Arora, who also used to be a judge, as the new person to help settle the disagreement. The process will follow the rules of the Delhi International Arbitration Centre (DIAC).
The new arbitrator must share certain information within a week. Tata Capital Limited and Madhav Diesels can still present their arguments, and the arbitrator will look at them fairly.
"All rights and contentions remain open for arbitration," stated the court.
The court emphasized that this order does not reflect any opinion on who is right or wrong in the case. The case will continue with the new arbitrator, and all related requests have been handled.
