BRAHMANI RIVER PELLETS LTD. vs KAMACHI INDUSTRIES LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed whether the Madras High Court had jurisdiction under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, given that the arbitration agreement specified Bhubaneswar as the venue. The court held that the jurisdiction of the Madras High Court was not applicable as the venue was clearly defined in the agreement, thus reinforcing the importance of adhering to the agreed terms of arbitration. The appeal was allowed, affirming the need for arbitration to occur at the designated venue.
