Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that disputes arising from the termination of an L.P.G. dealership must be resolved through arbitration as per the arbitration clause in the agreement. The Court set aside the High Court's order that allowed a writ petition filed nearly two years after the termination, emphasizing that the parties should adhere to the agreed remedy of arbitration. The appeal by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. was allowed, and the matter was referred back to arbitration.
