Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's dismissal of Goqii Technologies' application under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, for the appointment of an arbitrator. The Court held that the existence of a valid arbitration agreement under Clause 18.12 of the Master Services Agreement was established, and the High Court's refusal to appoint an arbitrator was erroneous. The Court directed the appointment of an arbitrator to resolve the disputes arising from the agreement, thereby upholding the principles of arbitration as outlined in the Act, 1996.
