Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's ruling that the agreements between Rishabh Enterprises and Astonfield Renewables do not contain an arbitration clause, thus precluding arbitration under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court affirmed that the agreements are not interconnected with the principal agreement dated 05.03.2012, following the precedent set in Sukanya Holdings (P) Ltd. v. Jayesh H. Pandya. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, maintaining the lower court's decision.
