VIPIN KUMAR GADHOK vs RAVINDER NATH KHANNA .

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's order under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, appointing a sole arbitrator for disputes arising from a partnership agreement. The Court clarified that the objection regarding the maintainability of the arbitration application based on the absence of an arbitration clause in the dissolution deed was a matter for the arbitrator to decide. The Court emphasized that the existence of an arbitration clause in the original partnership deed was sufficient to proceed with arbitration, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
