Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dismissal of Arbitration Applications Nos. 25/2003, 27/2003, and 28/2003 under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, where the appellant sought the appointment of an arbitrator for payment disputes. The Court held that the appellant's claim was barred by limitation as the final bills were raised in 1983, and no timely action was taken to invoke arbitration until 2002. Consequently, the High Court's decision was upheld, affirming the necessity of adhering to the limitation period for arbitration claims.
