Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 04-08-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Gowri Shankar & Anr; Respondent: Goraman Integrated Logistics Private Limited.
- The petition arises from a High Court judgment dated 21-07-2026 in CRP No.4209/2026, where the High Court granted an injunction and stay while referring the parties to arbitration under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
- Petitioners argue that the High Court should not have granted an injunction as the sole issue was the legality of the Section 8 arbitration order.
- Respondent contends it is not a signatory to the Memorandum of Undertaking containing the arbitration clause and that the petitioners sought interim protection through a revision against the Section 8 order.
- Both senior counsels presented their contentions before the Supreme Court bench comprising Justice K.V. Viswanathan and Justice Arun Palli.
Final Outcome
- The Supreme Court disposed of Special Leave Petition No.26057/2026, directing the High Court to decide the matter without adjournment and to dispose of it at the earliest.
- All pending applications, if any, were also ordered to stand disposed.
