Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of an arbitration clause under Section 8 of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996, in the context of disputes arising from a will. The Court held that the trial court's dismissal of the suits based on the arbitration agreement was justified, as the deceased had clearly expressed intent for arbitration in case of disputes regarding the will. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the trial court's order and the binding nature of the arbitration clause.
