Indiacan Education Private Limited filed a petition under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 before the Delhi High Court seeking appointment of a Sole Arbitrator to adjudicate disputes arising from a Memorandum of Understanding dated 02nd April, 2016, executed between the petitioner and the National Institute of Rural Development (NIRD), Hyderabad (Respondent No. 2), in connection with a skill development project under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojna scheme. The petitioner, appointed as a Project Implementation Agency targeting rural youth in Jammu and Kashmir, alleged non-payment of dues amounting to Rs. 1,66,37,275/- comprising the second and third instalments of the project cost, despite completing the project and submitting the requisite closure reports. The petitioner contended that the Ministry of Rural Development (Respondent No. 1) was a necessary party to the arbitration as it was the sanctioning and fund-disbursing authority, even though it had not executed the MoU, and that Respondent No. 3 (Himayat Mission Management Unit) had taken over administration of the project in 2018. The judgment text provided covers the introduction, facts, and submissions but does not include the final operative order or holding of the court.
