Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that an application under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, is subject to appeal under Article 136 of the Constitution, contrary to the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition. The Court referenced its earlier decision in Punjab Agro Industries Corporation Ltd. vs. Kewal Singh Dhillon, 2008 AIR SCW 5745, and allowed the appeal, restoring the writ petition for disposal by the High Court. The Court emphasized the need for expeditious handling of the matter due to its age.
