Chiranjilal Srilal Goenka (Dead), By ... vs Jasjit Singh & Others

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of a writ petition challenging the confiscation of gold under the Gold Control Act. The Court appointed an arbitrator to resolve the dispute regarding the legal heirs of the deceased Chiranjilal Srilal Goenka, while explicitly stating that the statutory action under the Gold Control Act was not part of the arbitration. The Court emphasized the need for a settlement among the claimants, allowing them to present their claims to the arbitrator, and clarified the jurisdictional issues concerning probate proceedings pending in the Bombay High Court.
