The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision under Section 11(5) & (6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, appointing an arbitrator to resolve disputes arising from a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 27.05.2013. The Court held that the legality and validity of the MoU, which the appellant contested as forged, could be examined by the arbitrator through evidence. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order to proceed with arbitration.
