Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed disputes arising from a family business partition involving the Sanghi family, emphasizing the validity of the arbitration agreement dated 6.8.1984 under the Arbitration Act, 1940. The Court held that the Delhi High Court's decision to permit the arbitrator to publish the award was justified, despite objections raised by family members. The judgment reaffirmed the enforceability of arbitration agreements in family business disputes, thereby upholding the award made by the arbitrator on 3.12.1987.
