Gail (India) Ltd vs Gujarat State Petroleum Corpn. Ltd

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Gujarat High Court's decision to entertain a writ petition under Article 226 concerning the fixation of gas prices between the appellant and the respondent. The Court held that the matter was contractual in nature and should be resolved through arbitration as per the Gas Sale Agreement, specifically Article 15.5, which mandates arbitration for disputes. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reinforcing the primacy of arbitration in contractual disputes.
