BHARAT SEWA SANSTHAN vs U.P. ELECTRONICS CORPN. LTD.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Additional District Judge's order dismissing 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 for disputes arising between the parties. Consequently, the Court directed both parties to appoint their respective arbitrators as per the agreement, reinforcing the principle that arbitration is a preferred method for dispute resolution.
