Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's dismissal of an application under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, for the appointment of an arbitrator. The Court found that the High Court erred in concluding that the matter was already referred to an arbitral tribunal, as the relevant agreements had not been adequately addressed. Consequently, the Supreme Court directed the appointment of an arbitrator to resolve the dispute between the parties.
