Composite Reference Can't Be Made Of Disparate Causes Of Action: Calcutta High Court

The Calcutta High Court ruled that a composite reference to arbitration cannot be made for disparate causes of action. The case involved a dispute where the party sought to consolidate multiple, unrelated issues into a single arbitration proceeding. The court held that arbitration proceedings must be limited to the specific causes of action agreed upon by the parties and cannot be combined if they are unrelated. This decision reinforces the principle that arbitration should be confined to the issues directly related to the agreement and prevents the consolidation of unrelated disputes into one arbitration process.
