M/S. M.S. COMMERCIAL . vs CALICUT ENGINEERING WORKS LTD. — SLP(C) No. 7762/2004

Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 7762/2004 M/S. M.S. Commercial v. Calicut Engineering Works Ltd. The Supreme Court dismissed M.S. Commercial's Special Leave Petitions challenging an arbitrator's order that found an arbitration agreement existed between the parties. The petitioners had disputed the arbitration clause and sought to cross-examine the handwriting expert's reports after the arbitrator's decision was rendered on 29 September 2003, but this application was rejected. The Court held that once the arbitrator decided the arbitration agreement existed, the appropriate remedy for petitioners was to challenge the final arbitral award under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act, not to seek expert cross-examination post-decision. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
