Gwalior Dugdha Sangh Sahakari Ltd vs G.M. Govt. Milk Scheme, Nagpur And Ors

The case examines the conflict between a private arbitration agreement and the statutory provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. The appellant sought to quash an arbitration clause designating the Dairy Development Commissioner, Bombay, as the arbitrator. The court analyzed whether the mandatory dispute resolution mechanism under Section 64 of the Co-operative Societies Act overrides a contractual agreement to arbitrate.
