Aurohill Global Commodities Ltd vs M.S.T.C. Ltd

The Supreme Court ruled on the applicability of Section 11(5) and Section 11(9) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, affirming that the arbitration clause in the contract between M/s Aurohill Global Commodities Ltd. and M/s M.S.T.C. Ltd. was valid and enforceable. The Court held that disputes arising from the contract, including those related to the arbitration process, must be resolved through arbitration as specified, and that jurisdiction lies exclusively with the courts in London. The application for the appointment of arbitrators was thus granted in favor of the petitioner.
