Quick Summary: In a recent decision by the Delhi High Court, a disagreement between Link Infratech Pvt Ltd and Eminent Infra Developers Pvt Ltd has been sent to arbitration. The case involves arguments over contracts related to Blocks J and K, with earlier arbitration already ordered for Block L.
On February 12, 2026, the Delhi High Court, led by Judge Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar, looked at requests made by Link Infratech Pvt Ltd. Link Infratech wanted an independent person to be chosen to settle arguments with Eminent Infra Developers Pvt Ltd. These arguments are connected to Letters of Intent dated October 18 and September 22, 2010.
The agreements between Link Infratech and Eminent Infra Developers have a specific rule, Clause 5.8.6, which requires that any arguments from the contracts be settled through arbitration. This rule states that the arbitration will be done by one person from recognized groups.
"All questions or disputes... shall be referred to the Arbitration and final decision of a single Arbitrator..."
The court mentioned earlier cases to show that its role is limited at this stage. The Supreme Court has explained that the court's job is to check if there's an arbitration agreement, without looking into the details of the case.
A similar case involving Block L had already been sent to arbitration by a court order on May 28, 2025. The Delhi International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) was given the job of picking an arbitrator for that case. The current decision applies the same method to Blocks J and K.
"The Delhi International Arbitration Centre... will appoint an Arbitrator out of the Panel of the Advocates maintained by the DIAC."
The DIAC is told to choose a single person to handle the arguments for Blocks J and K, using the same terms as the earlier order. The court made it clear that this decision does not give any opinion on the details of the arguments.
The Delhi High Court decided that the arguments between Link Infratech and Eminent Infra Developers will be settled through arbitration, following the same method as before. This process is meant to provide a fair and efficient solution to the ongoing contract disagreements.
