Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the Arbitration Application as barred by limitation without considering relevant correspondences dated 21.01.2003, 11.04.2003, and 24.04.2003 between the parties. The Court emphasized that these correspondences were crucial for determining the applicability of the arbitration clause. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and restored the Arbitration Application for fresh disposal, instructing the High Court to expedite the process within three months.
