Case Laws Indian Laws SC

SC held that Section 11 of SARFAESI Act mandates statutory arbitration for disputes between banks, financial institutions, or asset reconstruction companies relating to securitization, reconstruction, or non-payment of dues. The provision creates a legal fiction presuming an arbitration agreement exists without requiring explicit written consent. The court affirmed that the dispute resolution mechanism under Section 11 is mandatory and cannot be circumvented by alternative guidelines. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, directing the parties to resolve their dispute through arbitration as prescribed under the SARFAESI Act.
