M/S BHANDARI UDYOG LTD vs INDUSTRIAL FACILITATION COUNCIL

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of courts under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, determining that the District Court at Latur had the authority to entertain the application challenging the arbitration award. The Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision, which stated that since the Chief Justice's order under Section 11 is not a court, and the delivery of goods occurred at Latur, the jurisdiction lies there. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling on jurisdiction.
