Section 8 Arbitration Act | Fraud Allegations Do Not Invalidate Arbitration Agreement in Unregistered Partnership Dispute : Karnataka HC
Karnataka High Court rules that an arbitration agreement remains enforceable under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act even when signed post-investment, and mere fraud allegations between partners do not oust arbitration. The ruling clarifies that disputes involving unregistered firms are arbitrable unless fraud vitiates the agreement itself.
