Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition challenging the High Court's affirmation of the trial court's dismissal of an application under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court held that there was no valid arbitration agreement between the parties regarding the suit transactions, as the invoices cited by the defendants were not signed by the plaintiff, thus failing to meet the requirements of Section 7 of the Act. The Court found the explanation for the delay in filing the petition unsatisfactory and upheld the lower court's decision.
