Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether Clause 30 of the B-1 Agreements constituted an arbitration clause under the Arbitration Act, 1940. The Court held that the interpretation of such clauses must align with established precedents, specifically referencing the divergence between the decisions in Mallikarjun Vs. Gulbarga University and Bharat Bhushan Bansal Vs. U.P. Small Industries Corporation Ltd. The Court ultimately ruled that Clause 30 does not serve as an arbitration clause, thereby upholding the Bombay High Court's decision.
