Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision that had quashed the arbitrator's award concerning the construction contract for the Bina project. The court found that the arbitrator had jurisdiction to consider claims related to sister concerns, as the disputes were interconnected. The judgment emphasizes the importance of arbitration in resolving contractual disputes and upholds the validity of the arbitrator's award.
