General Manager Northern Railways & Anr vs Sarvesh Chopra

The case concerns whether certain claims arising from a construction contract between Northern Railways and a contractor could be referred to arbitration. The primary legal issue was the interpretation of 'excepted matters' under Clause 63 of the General Conditions of Contract, which typically excludes certain disputes from arbitration. The Supreme Court examined whether the High Court erred in refusing to refer these specific claims to an arbitrator.
