Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the scope of the Court's pre-referral jurisdiction under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Amendment Act, 2015, in the context of disputes involving multiple interconnected agreements. The Court emphasized the importance of examining whether an arbitration clause exists within the relevant agreements and whether the dispute falls within the scope of such clauses. The judgment clarified that the Court's jurisdiction is limited to prima facie determination of the existence of an arbitration agreement before referring the matter to arbitration. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision to refer the disputes for arbitration, considering the interconnected nature of the agreements involved.
