Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to appoint an Arbitrator under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, after the appellant failed to nominate its Arbitrator as per Clause 25 of the Agreement. The Court found that the modifications made by supplementary agreements did not negate the arbitration clause, thus affirming the necessity for arbitration between the parties. The Court emphasized that the original and modified clauses must be read together to ascertain the intent of the parties regarding arbitration.
