Vijay Kumar Sharma @ Manju vs Raghunandan Sharma @ Baburam & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, specifically sections 8, 11(6), and 14(1)(b). The Court held that the trial court's dismissal of the suits based on the alleged arbitration agreement was improper as there was no valid agreement between the parties. The Court emphasized that the jurisdiction of the trial court was not barred and allowed the appeal, thereby reinstating the suits for trial.
