The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court to set aside the order of the Additional District Judge, which had dismissed the application under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court emphasized that the arbitration clause in the lease agreement mandates referral to arbitration, thus establishing that disputes arising from lease agreements are subject to arbitration as per the agreed terms. The Court directed both parties to appoint their respective arbitrators, reinforcing the principle of honoring arbitration agreements.
