M/S. RAAG RANG & ANR. vs THE GENERAL MANAGER DELHI TELEPHONES & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute regarding the payment of telephone dues under the Telegraphs Act, specifically referencing Section 11-A, which provides for alternative arbitration in such cases. The Court held that the primary issue was a factual dispute over whether payment had been made, and thus, it could not resolve the matter satisfactorily. The appellants were directed to either make the payment or apply to the competent authority for adjudication, with an interim stay continuing until a decision is reached.
