#MSME Facilitation Council

Kerala High Court directed the MSME Facilitation Council to dispose of a pending claim petition within three months after conciliation proceedings failed. The ruling underscores the enforceability of mandamus writs against statutory bodies for timely adjudication under the MSME Act.

Delhi High Court holds that MSMED Act overrides private arbitration agreements; jurisdiction vests in Facilitation Council where supplier is located, not as per contract.
