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 dissolution deed required disputes to be referred to arbitration, but the delay in initiating arbitration proceedings rendered the application inadmissible. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
