Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision to refer disputes arising from a tenancy agreement to arbitration under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court emphasized that the tenancy agreement contained a valid arbitration clause, and the High Court correctly interpreted the law as established in prior judgments such as Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. v. Pinkcity Midway Petroleums and others. The Court affirmed that disputes regarding the tenancy should be resolved by the appointed arbitrators as per the agreement, reinforcing the principle of party autonomy in arbitration.
