ETOILE CREATIONS vs SARL DNSET DECO

The Supreme Court, while adjudicating a petition under Section 11(5) and Section 11(9) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, held that the disputes arising from the 'Buyers Agreement' dated 18.10.2012 between the petitioner and the respondent warranted the appointment of a sole arbitrator. The Court emphasized that the respondent's failure to pay the outstanding dues and the cancellation of orders constituted a breach of the agreement, thus justifying arbitration for resolution. The Court directed the appointment of an arbitrator to adjudicate the disputes as per the terms of the agreement.
