Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of judicial review in the context of alternative remedies, specifically regarding the termination of a dealership agreement under Clause 55. The Court held that the dismissal of the writ petition by the High Court was inappropriate, given that disputes had been referred to arbitration, and a consent award had been passed. The Court emphasized the importance of allowing parties to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than through judicial intervention when an alternative remedy exists, thus upholding the arbitration process.
