The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the High Court was correct in rejecting the application for arbitration reference on the grounds of limitation. The Court found that the High Court's decision was not justified as the limitation period for filing the application had not expired. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal and directed the High Court to refer the matter to arbitration as per the agreement between the parties.
