The jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal cannot be challenged after the submission of the statement of defence.

Under section 16(2) of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996, by accepting the appointment of the sole arbitrator and filing its statement of defence, the Respondent waived its right to challenge the tribunal’s jurisdiction. It is impermissible for the Respondent to submit the objection to the tribunal’s jurisdiction belatedly after submitting its statement of defence.
