Whether bar contained under S. 80 of Arbitration Act in selection of forum for arbitration applicable to MSMED Act? Allahabad HC answers
Allahabad High Court said that the MSMED Act, 2006 is a special law and in view of Section 24 the discretion given to Council for selecting the forum of arbitration between the parties has an overriding effect and therefore, at the stage of selection of forum for arbitration by the Council the prohibition contained in Section 80 of the A&C Act will not be applicable.
