Union Of India & Another vs Raunaq International Ltd

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 20 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, determining that a court's role is primarily ministerial when an arbitration agreement exists and disputes arise from it. The Court held that the Additional District Judge should not have evaluated the arbitrability of claims but should have referred all claims to arbitration as per the High Court's ruling. The outcome affirmed the High Court's decision to refer all claims to arbitration, emphasizing that the court should not decide on the arbitrability of claims at this stage.
