Existence of Arbitration Clause Does Not Debar Court from Entertaining A Writ Petition In Contractual Matter: Supreme Court The Supreme Court on Wednesday observed in a judgement that the existence of Arbitration Clause does not debar the court from entertaining a writ petition. The court reiterated that compensation can be granted under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution. "However, the writ jurisdiction under Article 226, being discretionary, the High Court’s usually refrain from entertaining a writ petition which involves adjudication of disputed questions of fact which may require analysis of evidence of witnesses. Monetary relief can also be granted in a writ petition” the court said. Reddy & Reddy Law Firm has a forte in handling Arbitration matters.
