Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' application under Section 20 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, ruling that the application was barred by the law of limitation. The Court emphasized that the arbitration clause in the partnership dissolution deed required disputes to be resolved through arbitration, and the failure to initiate arbitration within the stipulated time frame rendered the application inadmissible. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
