Sunder Kukreja & Ors vs Mohan Lal Kukreja & Anr

The Supreme Court ruled on the applicability of Section 20 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, affirming that disputes arising from a partnership agreement must be referred to arbitration as stipulated in the partnership deed. The Court found that the retirement deed dated 16.8.1990, which the respondent claimed dissolved the partnership, was not genuine as per the forensic examination. Consequently, the Court held that the arbitration agreement was still valid, allowing the appellant's petition for arbitration to proceed.
