The Bombay High Court appointed Ashish Venugopal as the sole arbitrator, directed the parties to furnish contact details, schedule proceedings, and provide statutory disclosures within two weeks. The court converted the Section 9 application to a Section 17 application for arbitration. All arbitral costs are to be borne equally by the parties initially, subject to adjustment by the final award. This content may not be financially relevant
