Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of arbitration under Clause 28 of an agreement dated October 17, 2003, where the respondent contended that the applicant could not invoke arbitration for different disputes after having previously invoked it for another dispute. The Court held that the arbitration clause did not restrict the parties from invoking arbitration for multiple disputes arising under the same agreement, emphasizing that each dispute could be separately arbitrated. The Court ultimately allowed the applicant's prayer to refer the disputes to arbitration, clarifying the interpretation of the arbitration clause.
