M/S. Emm Enn Associates vs Commander Works Engineer & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the dismissal of applications for arbitration under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court held that the claims made by the contractor were not live claims as they were made after the expiration of the two-year limitation period specified in the contract's Clause 67. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that no arbitrable dispute existed due to the contractor's prior acceptance of the final bill without protest.
