Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a partnership dispute involving allegations of fraud and misappropriation of funds. The court examined the applicability of arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, in light of the ongoing criminal investigation. It upheld the High Court's decision to appoint an arbitrator, emphasizing the need for arbitration despite the allegations, as the partnership deed contained a valid arbitration clause.
