It depends upon facts of the arbitration award and High Court order setting it aside.
Consult your lawyer who is well aware about facts of the case, however, you may seek second opinion of another local prudent lawyer with relevant case file. But do not adventure to rely upon obligation of experts on this platform which is formed on the basis of limited facts posted by you.

One among the two parties, who entered into a contract for arbitration and agreed to resolve dispute through a mutually agreed Arbitrator, got a favourable order in his favour is not a sound reason for him to file a damage suit or a defamation suit.
The other party did not obtain a favourable order in an arbitration cannot be sound cause of action for filing a suit for damages or defamation.
