1997 (12) TMI 598 - SUPREME COURT
Whether a dispute lies within the scope of the arbitration agreement?
Held that:- By reason of Section 9(b), the 1961 Act does not apply to any award made on an arbitration agreement governed by the law of India. The 1961 Act, therefore, does not apply to the arbitration agreement between the appellant and the first respondent. The 1940 Act, applies to it and, by reason of Section 14(2) thereof, the courts in India are entitled to receive the award made by the second respondent. We must add in the interests of completeness that is not the case of the appellant that the High Court at Bombay lacked the territorial jurisdiction to do so. In the result, the appeal must fail, and it is dismissed with costs.
