Elfit Arabia vs Concept Hotel Barons Limited

The Supreme Court addressed the arbitration petition under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, concerning a dispute over a telecommunication project financing agreement. The Court held that claims barred by limitation are non-arbitrable and emphasized the need for a primary review to prevent parties from entering protracted arbitration over dead claims. The petition was dismissed as the claims were found to be time-barred, affirming the principle that courts must protect the arbitration process from frivolous claims.
