Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the respondent-Contractee Company established a case for referring the dispute to arbitration under Article 9.0.2.0 of the contract, despite the appellant-Contractor's claims of prior settlement through a No Dues/No Claim Certificate. The Court emphasized that the existence of a genuine dispute necessitates arbitration, and the High Court's order to appoint an arbitrator was upheld. Consequently, the appeal by the appellant-Contractor was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
