United India Insurance Co. Ltd vs J.A.Infra Structure Pvt.Ltd

The Supreme Court held that the application of Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963, which allows for the exclusion of time spent in prosecuting a remedy before a wrong forum, is applicable to proceedings under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court found that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's Writ Petition was incorrect as it did not consider the implications of the recent judgment in State of Goa vs. M/s. Western Builders. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the matter was remanded for reconsideration in light of the correct application of the law.
