Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the High Court's decision to appoint an independent arbitrator instead of following the contractual provision for appointing Railways' Officers as arbitrators. The court emphasized the importance of adhering to the agreed-upon arbitration clause in the contract. Ultimately, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the arbitration be conducted in accordance with the terms of the contract.
