The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Calcutta High Court's order referring a dispute to arbitration under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court examined the validity of the arbitration clause in the excavation contract, which was amended to specify arbitration for commercial disputes between Public Sector Enterprises and Government Departments. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the arbitration clause was valid and applicable to the disputes at hand.
