KAILASH RANI DANG vs RAKESH BALA ANEJA

The Supreme Court addressed the arbitration proceedings arising from a family arrangement under which Kailash Rani was to receive 50% of the earnings from Alka Cinema. The Court held that the arbitration clause was valid and enforceable, emphasizing that the non-appearance of Subhash Chander at the arbitration hearings justified ex-parte proceedings. The Court affirmed the arbitrator's authority to proceed with the case despite the objections raised by Subhash Chander regarding document supply, thereby upholding the arbitration process as per the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
