Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the appointment of an arbitrator under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the disputes arising from an insurance policy. The Court clarified that the respondent's acceptance of a settlement amount does not preclude the right to arbitration for unresolved claims. The judgment emphasized the importance of arbitration as a means of dispute resolution, particularly in commercial contracts, and confirmed the High Court's order to appoint an arbitrator.
