The Supreme Court has dismissed a petition filed by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) seeking the recusal of a judge in the Outer Ring Road (ORR) construction arbitration dispute.
HMDA had requested that the arbitration proceedings in this case not be continued. However, the Supreme Court rejected this plea.
The Telangana High Court had previously ruled that the dispute should be resolved through the process of the Indian Council of Arbitration (ICA). HMDA had approached the Supreme Court challenging this decision.
With the Supreme Court dismissing HMDA's petition to recuse the judge, the arbitration process will now proceed as per the High Court's directives.
