NTPC LTD. vs M/S SPML INFRA LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal concerning the constitution of an Arbitral Tribunal under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The appellant, NTPC, contended that there were no existing disputes due to a prior Settlement Agreement, arguing that the respondent's request for arbitration was an abuse of process. The Court stayed the proceedings before the Arbitral Tribunal, indicating a need for further examination of the dispute's existence and the validity of the Settlement Agreement.
