Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the appointment of an arbitrator in a dispute arising from a Power Purchase Agreement between M.P. Power Trading Co. Ltd. and Narmada Equipments Pvt Ltd. The court found that the High Court's decision to appoint an arbitrator under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 was justified, as the termination of the agreement was contested and warranted arbitration. The ruling reinforces the importance of arbitration in resolving contractual disputes.
