UNITED INDIA INSURANCE CO. LTD. vs J.A.INFRA STRUCTURE PVT.LTD.

The Supreme Court held that Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963 applies to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, allowing for exclusion of time spent in pursuing a remedy in a wrong forum. The Court found that the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the appellant's Writ Petition was incorrect as it followed a precedent that did not consider the implications of the recent judgment in State of Goa vs. M/s.Western Builders. The appeal was allowed, and the matter was remanded for reconsideration in light of the established legal principle regarding jurisdiction and limitation.
