The applicant filed a special leave petition with the Supreme Court against an order by the Jodhpur High Court related to his termination from the Rotary Club of Jodhpur. The applicant received a show cause notice in November 2021 and withdrew his reply in December but was still terminated. He requested recall of the termination order and arbitration as allowed by the club's provisions, but the arbitrator appointed on behalf of the club was unacceptable to the applicant due to a criminal case against them. The applicant is now requesting the High Court appoint an independent arbitrator under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act since the club-appointed arbitrator is biased against the applicant and not impartial as required
